how to create pan card online

You can create a PAN card online primarily through three authorized portals: the Income Tax e-Filing Portal for **Instant e-PAN**, or the official websites of **Protean (formerly NSDL eGov)** and **UTIITSL**.

• Instant e-PAN is a free, Aadhaar-based service for individuals to get a digital copy (e-PAN) within minutes.
• The other portals allow you to apply for a new PAN (using Form 49A for Indian citizens) by completing the online application, uploading necessary documents (like proof of identity and address), and paying the processing fee.

After submission, the physical card is dispatched to your communication address.
