how to download pan card free

The easiest way to download your e-PAN card for free is by using the Income Tax e-Filing portal's 'Instant e-PAN' service. This is a complimentary service where you can download your e-PAN using your Aadhaar number. To do this, go to the e-Filing portal, select 'Instant e-PAN,' and then 'Check Status/Download PAN.' Enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number and the OTP sent to your linked mobile number to receive the PDF copy. You can also download an e-PAN for free from the Protean or UTIITSL portals if the PAN was allotted within the last 30 days.
