how to make pan card under 18

A PAN card for a minor (under 18) must be applied for by their parent or guardian, who acts as the Representative Assessee. The application can be submitted online through the official NSDL or Protean portals using Form 49A.

• The form requires the minor's details and the parent's or guardian's signature and information.
• The issued PAN card will not contain the minor's photo or signature.
• Documents needed include the minor's date of birth proof and the guardian's identity and address proof.

Once the minor turns 18, the PAN details must be updated to include their photograph and signature.
