You can apply for a Permanent Account Number (PAN) card online through the government-authorized portals.
- The Income Tax e-Filing Portal offers a free, instant e-PAN facility for individuals with an Aadhaar-linked mobile number.
- Applications can also be submitted through the official websites of Protean eGov Technologies (formerly NSDL) and UTIITSL.
The process typically requires submitting documents like proof of identity, address, and date of birth, with fees varying based on the mode of application and delivery preference.
