how to apply for new pan card

You can apply for a new Permanent Account Number (PAN) card online through three authorized platforms.

• Apply for a new PAN card using the Income Tax e-Filing Portal for an instant e-PAN, the official Protean (formerly NSDL eGov) portal, or the UTIITSL portal.
• Indian citizens are typically required to fill out application Form 49A.
• The process generally requires submitting documents for proof of identity, address, and date of birth, and usually involves a small fee, except for the instant e-PAN option.
