• You must authenticate your identity, often through an OTP sent to your registered mobile number.
• Pay the required fee (approximately ₹50 to ₹107 for dispatch within India).
• The e-PAN can be downloaded instantly, and the physical card will be dispatched to your communication address within 15-20 working days.
