how to pan card

You can apply for a Permanent Account Number (PAN) card through online or offline channels.

• You can apply online through the official portals of Protean (formerly NSDL eGov) or UTIITSL by completing Form 49A.
• Alternatively, individuals with an Aadhaar card linked to a mobile number can get an instant e-PAN for free on the Income Tax e-Filing Portal.
• For both methods, you must provide supporting documents such as proof of identity, address, and date of birth.
