There may arise an occasion where you lose your PAN card or it is damaged. In such cases, you can apply to get a reprint of your PAN card. The NSDL e-Gov portal allows PAN card users to reapply for a lost or damaged PAN card. Here is a step by step guide on how to apply for a duplicate PAN card? Keep reading!

How To Apply For A Duplicate PAN Card Online?

The NSDL e-Gov portal makes it simple to apply for a duplicate PAN card in a few easy steps.

1. Go to TIN-NSDL and choose "Changes or corrections in existing PAN data/ Reprint of PAN card (No changes in existing PAN data)" as the application type. (If your PAN card has been lost, misplaced, or stolen, you should reprint it without changing any of the information.)

2. Complete the mandatory information and submit the form.

3. A token number will be generated and emailed to the email address that you provided on the previous page. Continue with the application filing after noting the token number for future reference.

4. Fill in the required information on the "Personal Details" page, as well as the mode of submission for your PAN application form.

5. There are three modes to choose from:

- Physically send application documents: The acknowledgement form generated after payment must be printed, along with copies of all required documents, and mailed to NSDL's PAN services unit via registered mail.

- Submit electronically via e-KYC and e-sign (paperless): Aadhaar is required to use this option, and all of the information contained in your Aadhaar should be used exclusively in the duplicate PAN card application. For authentication of the details provided, an OTP will be sent to the Aadhaar registered number. Uploading a photo, signature, or any other documents is not required. When using this option to submit the final form, a digital signature (DSC) will be required to e-sign the document.

- Use e-sign to submit scanned images: Aadhaar is required for this option, but you will need to upload scan images of your photograph, signature, and other documents. The application form will only be authenticated with an OTP.

6. After you've completed the steps above, you'll need to decide whether you need a physical PAN card or an e-PAN card. If you choose an e-PAN card, you must provide a valid email address. The digitally signed e-PAN card will be sent to the email address provided.

7. The next step is to complete the "Contact & other details" page as well as the "document details" page, and then submit the application.

8. You will now be directed to the payment page, and an acknowledgement will be generated once the payment has been made.

9. The 15-digit acknowledgement number generated can be used to check the status of your duplicate PAN card.

10. Upon successful submission of the application, the duplicate PAN card will be sent out within two weeks.

4. If you are an individual applicant, two passport-sized photographs must be attached and carefully cross-signed. While signing, the face should not be covered.

5. Then, fill out the form with all of the required information and sign the appropriate boxes.

6. The application must be submitted to the NSDL facilitation center along with payment, proof of identity, proof of address, and proof of PAN.

7. Following payment, a printed acknowledgement form with a 15-digit number is generated.

What Are The Instances Where One Can Apply For A Duplicate PAN Card?

  • Damaged: The only way to repair any damage to an existing PAN card is to reprint it.
