PAN Card Application Process on TIN-NSDL portal

The Permanent Account Number (PAN) serves as an alphanumeric identification card issued by the Income Tax Department (ITD) to individuals upon application. The TIN-NSDL portal offers an online platform for PAN card application, providing convenience through internet-based services. However, applicants also have the option to apply offline.

There are two primary types of PAN applications:

1. Application for PAN Allotment: This application is utilized when the applicant has never applied for a PAN or does not possess an allotted PAN. Indian citizens, including those residing outside India, can fill Form 49A for this purpose. Foreign citizens seeking a PAN are required to submit Form 49AA.
2. Application for New PAN Card or Changes/Corrections in PAN Data: This application is for individuals who already possess a PAN card but require a new one or need to rectify or update information on their existing card. Both Indian citizens and foreign nationals can file this form to request a new PAN card or make necessary alterations to their PAN details.
