Permanent Account Numbers, or PANs, are crucial records that are needed to complete specific activities. The Income Tax Department issues cards with unique 10-digit alphanumeric codes, and having one is required in light of this.
Making an online PAN card application is easy with the help of the websites of National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and UTI Infrastructure Technology and Services Limited (UTIITSL). PAN card issuance and any necessary updates or adjustments on behalf of the Income Tax Department are specifically permitted by the Indian government for both sites.
The NSDL website is a well-known channel for this, offering applicants an easy-to-use interface via which they can electronically submit their information. Concurrently, the website of UTIITSL functions as a substitute medium, providing people with an additional easily available choice for their PAN card requirements.
The following describes the process for current clients to apply for a PAN:
- Step1: Go to NSDL
- In Step 2, provide information such as your date of birth, GSTN (if applicable), Permanent Account Number (PAN), and captcha (if applicable).
- Click “Submit” in step three.
- Step 4: A text message (OTP) will be delivered to the registered cellphone number.
- Download the PAN in step five by entering the OTP.

How to apply for a PAN Card online through the NSDL/UTIITSL website?
These are the procedures for use the NSDL/UTIITSL website to apply for a PAN.
- Visit the official NSDL/UTIITSL website and click on the ‘New PAN’ option on the front page to begin the online application process.
- Please select Form 49A if you are an Indian resident, a non-resident Indian (NRI) living abroad and still holding your Indian citizenship, or the holder of an Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) card. Those who now live in India and hold dual citizenship are required to choose Form 49AA.
- Make sure you accurately fill out all the required information and pay the relevant costs. After completing your application, you can pay with a Demand Draft (DD) for the appropriate amount or using any of the available online payment alternatives. The DD must be contained with the completed form.
- After submitting the form, watch for the system to produce a slip with the application acknowledgement number on it.
- The final step is to use Aadhaar-OTP authentication to e-sign your application. In the event that you select DD as your preferred payment option, you will need to download the properly completed form along with any necessary paperwork, then mail it, making sure it gets to the NSDL/UTIITSL office no later than 15 days after the form is filled out.
Your application is verified by the NSDL/UTIITSL, which then issues a PAN number after receiving it. Normally, you will obtain your PAN card within 15 days of filing your application.
