what to do if you lost your pan card

If you lose your PAN card, you must immediately file an FIR at the nearest police station to prevent potential misuse. Do not apply for a new PAN; instead, you must apply for a duplicate PAN card with the same number to keep your financial records intact.

• Apply online for a reprint through the official portals of TIN-NSDL or UTIITSL.
• You will need your existing PAN, Aadhaar, and date of birth to complete the application.
• An e-PAN is often issued instantly, and the physical card is dispatched to your registered Indian address for a nominal fee.
