PAN Card Application

Overview

A one-time form, but small errors cause big delays

Applying for a PAN means filing Form 49A (for resident individuals and entities) or Form 49AA (for foreign citizens and entities) through Protean (NSDL), UTIITSL, or the income tax e-filing portal. Most rejections happen for the same avoidable reasons — a name that doesn't match your proof documents, a photo that doesn't meet the size specification, or an address proof that's expired. We handle the form, the document set, and the submission so it clears on the first attempt.

No rejected applications

Your documents are checked against Protean/UTIITSL specifications before submission, so name, DOB, and address mismatches don't send your application back.

e-PAN in days, not weeks

We track your acknowledgement number and get you the e-PAN as soon as it's issued, with the physical card following by post.

Right form, right category

Individual, HUF, company, or foreign entity — we confirm whether you need 49A or 49AA, so there's no back-and-forth with the department.

Questions

Frequently asked

01How much does a PAN application cost?

The government fee is around ₹107 for a card dispatched within India, and about ₹1,017 for dispatch outside India, plus applicable GST. Our fee covers preparing your documents and filing the application correctly.

02How long does the government take to issue a PAN?

The e-PAN is usually issued within 48 hours of a clean application, with the physical card following by post in about 15–20 days.

03What if my application gets rejected for a document mismatch?

A blurred photo, a signature outside the box, or a name that doesn't exactly match your proof document are the most common rejection reasons. We check every document against the format before filing so this doesn't happen.

04Can a minor apply for a PAN?

Yes — a minor's PAN application is filed using the identity and address proof of a parent or guardian acting as representative assessee.

05Why book a consultation instead of applying myself on the portal?

You can absolutely apply directly on the Protean (NSDL) or UTIITSL portal yourself — the form is public and free to access. Where applications commonly go wrong is document formatting: photo dimensions, signature placement, and proof documents that don't exactly match the name and address you've entered. We check all of this before submission so you don't lose 15 days waiting for a rejected application to come back.
