how to make new pan card

You can make a new PAN card by applying online through authorized government platforms.

• **Instant e-PAN:** This is the fastest option. Use the Income Tax e-Filing Portal for a free, paperless e-PAN if you are an individual with a valid Aadhaar linked to a mobile number.
• **Protean (formerly NSDL eGov) or UTITSL Portals:** Complete and submit Form 49A, provide copies of your Identity, Address, and Date of Birth proof, and pay the required fee. Documents can be e-verified using Aadhaar OTP or sent physically.
