how to get new pan card online

You can get a new PAN card online through authorized government portals. The quickest option is to apply for an **Instant e-PAN** on the Income Tax e-Filing Portal, which is free for individuals with an Aadhaar-linked mobile number, often allotting the e-PAN within 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can apply through the official portals of **Protean (formerly NSDL eGov)** or **UTIITSL** by submitting Form 49A. These standard applications require providing KYC documents and paying the applicable fee.
