PAN Card:- A PAN (Permanent Account Number) card is an essential document issued by the Indian government to individuals and entities for tax purposes. If you need to download a PAN card, follow these steps:-
- Visit the official website of NSDL or UTIITSL, the two authorized agencies to issue PAN cards in India.
- Click on the “Download PAN” option on the homepage.
- Select the type of PAN card you need to download – PAN for individuals, HUF, or companies.
- Enter the required details, such as your PAN number, name, date of birth, etc., as per the information registered with the Income Tax Department.
- Verify the captcha code and click on the “Submit” button.
- Once your details are verified, the website will generate an OTP (One Time Password) and send it to your registered mobile number.
- Enter the OTP in the designated field and click on “Validate.”
- Next, click on the “Download PAN” option.
- Your PAN card will be downloaded in PDF format.
- You can open the downloaded PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Reader or any other PDF reader.
- Take a printout of the downloaded PAN card if needed.
It is important to note that the downloaded PAN card is a digital version of the original PAN card and can be used for most purposes. However, in case of discrepancies or errors in the PAN details, it is advisable to apply for a physical PAN card by submitting the necessary documents to the nearest PAN card center.
