how to pan card apply online

You can apply for a Permanent Account Number (PAN) card online through government-authorized portals.

• For an individual with a valid Aadhaar and a linked mobile number, the quickest option is the free Instant e-PAN available on the Income Tax e-Filing Portal.
• Alternatively, new PAN applications (Form 49A for Indian citizens) or requests for changes can be made through the official portals of NSDL (Protean eGov Technologies) or UTIITSL.
• The application involves filling the form, submitting proofs of identity and address, and paying the nominal processing fee.
