Reprint PAN card

Online Reprint (For PANs processed through Protean or Instant e-PAN):

This is the fastest and cheapest option, ideal if your latest PAN application was handled by Protean eGov Technologies Ltd. (formerly NSDL e-Gov) or obtained through the Income Tax Department’s “Instant e-PAN” facility.

Steps:

• Step 1: Visit the PAN Change Request webpage: https://tin.tin.nsdl.com/pan/changerequest.html
• Step 2: Select “Reprint of PAN Card (No changes)” from the “Application Type” dropdown menu.
• Step 3: Fill in the required details, including your PAN number, name, date of birth, and registered mobile number.
• Step 4: Verify your Aadhaar card through OTP or biometric authentication.
• Step 5: Make the payment of Rs. 50 (for Indian address) or Rs. 959 (for foreign address) using debit/credit card or net banking.
• Step 6: Your reprinted PAN will be dispatched to your registered address within 15-20 working days.

Offline Reprint (For any PAN or situation):

This method works for all PAN cards and situations, even if you haven’t used Protean or Instant e-PAN.

Steps:

• Step1: Download the PAN Change Request Form (Form Correction/Addition/Deletion/Reprint of PAN Data): https://www.protean-tinpan.com/services/pan/change-correction.html
• Step 2: Fill the form manually or electronically, clearly stating your reason for reprint (damaged PAN, lost card, etc.).
• Step 3:Attach copies of the following documents:
  
  1. Your existing PAN card (if available)
  2. Valid ID proof: Aadhaar card, Voter ID, Driving License, Passport (copy self-attested)
  3. Valid address proof: Aadhaar card, Bank statement/passbook, Utility bill (copy self-attested)
  4. Date of birth proof: Birth certificate, School leaving certificate (applicable only for Individuals and Karta of HUF)
  5. Two recent passport-size photographs
• Step 4: Submit the completed form and document copies along with a demand draft of Rs. 105 payable to “Protean eGov Technologies Ltd” at the address mentioned on the form.
• Step 5: Your reprinted PAN will be delivered to the mentioned address within 15-20 working days.

Additional Tips:

• Before applying for a reprint, check if you can download a free e-PAN from the Income Tax website’s “e-Filing” portal. This is valid for PANs allotted or changed in the last 30 days.
• If your PAN data needs correction (name, address, etc.), apply for a PAN correction instead of a reprint.
• Keep a copy of the filled application form and payment receipt for your records.

Remember:

• Online reprint is faster and cheaper.
• Offline reprint works for any situation but takes longer.
