New PAN
Two ways to get a new PAN online
Both are for individual Indian citizens, including NRIs. Fees shown are for an Indian address.
Instant e-PAN
Free- Who can use it
- Adults who don't have a PAN yet, with a valid Aadhaar and a mobile number linked to it. Not available for minors or foreign citizens.
- What you need
- Aadhaar with linked mobile, and a DigiLocker account holding a date-of-birth document such as a driving licence, birth certificate or Class X marksheet.
- What you get
- An e-PAN, which is a valid form of PAN. A printed card can be ordered later as a reprint.
Online application
From ₹66- Fee (digital application)
- e-PAN only ₹66 · with printed card ₹101 · plus ₹5.90 e-Sign charge. A card sent to a foreign address costs ₹1,011.
- Who can use it
- Indian citizens, including NRIs (Form 93). Minors apply through a parent or guardian as their representative.
- What you need
- Proof of identity, address and date of birth (see below). Aadhaar e-KYC and e-Sign make it paperless.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is an e-PAN valid, or do I need a printed card?
An e-PAN is a valid form of PAN and works for KYC and investing. If you also want a printed card, you can choose one when applying online, or order a reprint later.
Why does Instant e-PAN ask for DigiLocker?
Aadhaar isn't accepted as proof of date of birth, so the e-Filing portal fetches a date-of-birth document, such as a driving licence, birth certificate or Class X marksheet, from your DigiLocker. You can create a DigiLocker account during the process using your Aadhaar-linked mobile.
My Aadhaar is already linked to a PAN. Can I get Instant e-PAN?
No. Instant e-PAN is only for people who don't already have a PAN. Use your existing PAN, and request a correction if any details are wrong.
Can I change my application after submitting it?
No. An application can't be edited after final submission. Once your PAN is allotted, submit a correction request (Form CR-01).
Can NRIs apply online?
Yes. Indian citizens living abroad apply with Form 93 and must give their passport number. A printed card sent to a foreign address costs ₹1,011.
How do I check my application status?
Use your acknowledgement number on the Protean or UTIITSL tracking page, depending on where you applied. For Instant e-PAN, use “Check Status / Download e-PAN” on the e-Filing portal.
