how to get pan card if lost

To get a replacement for a lost PAN card, you must apply for a duplicate card.

• First, it is recommended to file a Police Complaint (FIR) to prevent potential misuse of the lost card.
• Apply for a duplicate PAN card online or offline through the official portals of authorized service providers like Protean (NSDL) or UTIITSL.
• Use the 'Request for New PAN Card or/and Changes or Correction in PAN Data' form.
• An instant e-PAN is often issued, and the physical card will be dispatched to your address for a fee.
