how much time does pan card take

Normally, it takes 10–15 working days to receive a physical PAN card after submitting your application. However, the time required to obtain the digital copy (e-PAN) is much faster, especially with online processes.

• An e-PAN is often issued within 48 hours or 2–4 working days if you apply online and complete the process using Aadhaar-based e-KYC.
• You can sometimes get an instant e-PAN within a few minutes using the Income Tax Department's instant PAN facility, provided your mobile number is linked to your Aadhaar.

Delays may occur if documents are incomplete or additional verification is required.
