how to take duplicate pan card

You can easily get a duplicate PAN card if your original is lost, stolen, or damaged, provided there are no changes to your existing PAN details. Apply online through the official Protean (NSDL) or UTIITSL portals by following these steps:

• Visit the portal and select the 'Reprint of PAN Card' option.
• Enter your PAN number, Aadhaar number, and date of birth.
• Verify your details, often via an OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number.
• Pay the required fee. A nominal fee (e.g., ₹50) is charged for dispatch within India.
• An electronic copy (e-PAN) is often sent to your email instantly, and the physical card is dispatched to your registered address within a few weeks.
