Income Tax Department (ITD) issues Permanent Account Number (PAN) an alphanumeric ID in a form of card to any “person” who applies for it or to whom the department allows the number without an application. A taxpayer usually applies for a reprint/duplicate PAN on TIN-NSDL if they have lost or damaged the PAN card they have in their possession. In this application, the taxpayer gets a new PAN card. Not the new PAN Number. Therefore, you wouldn’t have to apply for a new PAN card.
Hence, an SMS will be sent on your registered mobile number with your acknowledgment number. The SMS will also provide you the link to download your e-PAN. Moreover, individuals can use this facility only if there is no change in the data such as name, address, etc. Remember you cannot update your details in the PAN using this facility.
PAN card will be dispatched to the communication address as per the latest details available with the Income Tax Department (ITD).
When should I submit the application in the form “Request for New PAN card or changes or correction in PAN data?”
You can submit the application in the form “Request for New PAN Card Or/and Changes or Correction in PAN data” in the following cases:
– When you already have PAN but want a new PAN card,
– When you want to make some changes or corrections in your existing PAN details
The PAN card is issued after nearly 15-20 days after the submission of the form on the portal.
