how to get duplicate pan card if lost

To obtain a duplicate PAN card after it is lost, you should first lodge a police complaint (FIR) at your nearest police station. You can then apply for a reprint through an official service provider.

• Apply online via the official Protean (formerly NSDL eGov) or UTIITSL websites by selecting the "Re-print of PAN card" option.
• Alternatively, you can submit the offline form "Request for New PAN Card or/and Changes or Correction in PAN Data" to a service center.
• A copy of the police FIR must be submitted along with the application form and required documents.

The duplicate card is typically delivered within 15-20 working days to your registered communication address.
