To take a PAN card print online, you must download the electronic copy, known as an e-PAN, from the official portals. The e-PAN is a digitally signed and valid document that can be printed. You can download it using the Income Tax e-Filing portal, Protean (formerly NSDL), or UTIITSL websites.
The process generally involves:
- Visiting the designated 'Download e-PAN' section on one of the official portals.
- Entering your PAN or Acknowledgement number, Aadhaar number (for individuals), and Date of Birth.
- Authenticating your identity using a One-Time Password (OTP) sent to your registered mobile number.
- Downloading the e-PAN PDF, which you can then print.
