how to open pan card online

You can open a PAN card online through three official channels. Individuals with a valid Aadhaar and linked mobile number can apply for a free and instant e-PAN on the Income Tax e-Filing Portal. Alternatively, you can apply for a new PAN (Form 49A) through the portals of Protean (formerly NSDL eGov) or UTITSL. These applications involve filling out the form, submitting the necessary identity and address proofs, and paying a processing fee.
