how to order new pan card

You can order a new PAN card through two main official methods:

• **Instant e-PAN (Digital only):** Use the Income Tax e-Filing portal's 'Instant E-PAN' service. This is free, paperless, and instant, requiring only your Aadhaar and linked mobile number.
• **Standard Application (Physical or Digital):** Apply on the Protean (formerly NSDL eGov) or UTIITSL portals using Form 49A. This method requires document submission and a fee of approximately ₹91 plus taxes for an Indian address.
