how to change damaged pan card

To change a damaged PAN card, you must apply for a **Reprint of PAN Card** or a **Duplicate PAN Card** through the Income Tax Department's authorized portals, Protean (NSDL) or UTIITSL. This process re-issues a physical card with the same PAN number and existing details.

• Visit the service website (Protean or UTIITSL).
• Select the application type 'Changes or Correction in existing PAN data/Reprint of PAN Card'.
• Choose the 'Reprint of PAN Card (No changes in Existing PAN Data)' option.
• Enter your PAN and Aadhaar number, then submit the required fee online.
• The new card will be dispatched to the address linked with your Aadhaar.
