how to make my pan card

You can make your PAN card by applying online or offline through government-authorised portals like Protean (formerly NSDL) or UTIITSL.

• Online application is done through Form 49A/49AA on the Protean or UTIITSL website, requiring you to submit identity, address, and date of birth proofs, along with the required fee.
• For instant and free e-PAN, individuals can apply using their Aadhaar number and linked mobile number on the Income Tax e-Filing Portal, which is usually generated within 10 minutes.
