what if my pan card is lost

If your PAN card is lost, you should immediately file an FIR at the nearest police station to prevent misuse. Then, apply for a duplicate card.

• Apply for a duplicate PAN card (reprint) online via the Protean (NSDL) or UTIITSL website using your existing PAN and Aadhaar number.
• Do not apply for a new PAN, as holding multiple PANs is against the law.
• Pay the nominal fee online. The reissued card is typically dispatched to your registered address within a couple of weeks.
