how to obtain duplicate pan card

To obtain a duplicate PAN card (also known as reprinting) if the original is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can apply through two main methods: online or offline.

• Apply online by visiting the official Protean (NSDL) or UTIITSL website, selecting "Re-print of PAN card," filling in your details (PAN, Aadhaar, DOB), and submitting the request with the required fee.
• Apply offline by downloading and filling the 'Request for New PAN Card or Correction' form and submitting it, along with necessary documents, to a PAN service centre.
• An e-PAN is available instantly upon authentication, and the physical card is typically dispatched within 15–20 days for an additional fee of approximately Rs 50.00 within India.
