Go to the Online PAN application form on the official NSDL website in order to apply for the PAN Card.
Here are the personal details and documents you need to apply for a PAN card online without Aadhar card:
Indian Citizens must use Form 49A, while foreign citizens must use Form 49AA to apply for the PAN card.
If you are applying for a PAN card for yourself, choose Individual. Otherwise, you can select one of the other options available - such as Company, LLP, Firm - as applicable.
Fill in all the personal details like date of birth and your current legal name. If you have changed your name after marriage, use your married name.
Enter a mobile number that belongs to you. Once you submit the application, you will receive an Acknowledgement Number. Write this down and keep it safe.
Once you have saved the Acknowledgement Number, click on the link to continue with your application. On the new page, you will see three options to submit your documents.
#1. Paperless submission through e-KYC and e-Sign
#2. A scanned image through e-Sign
#3. Physical submission of documents
Most people prefer submitting through option #2 – scanned image.
Next, you will be required to enter your personal details such as name, date of birth and address.
When you submit your application to make a new PAN card, you will have to provide the AO code in your application. AO Code is a combination of Area Code, AO Type, Range Code and AO Number.
You can get this information from the Income Tax Office or you can search for your AO Codes on the AO Code search for PAN website by selecting the city based on the office or residence address you have entered.
Next, you will need to fill in the details of the documents you’re submitting for age and address proof and upload them. After uploading these address and age proof documents, you will be asked to make a nominal payment.
Now you will be asked to choose how you want to submit your documents with the PAN application to NSDL. Check your email inbox for the acknowledgement from NSDL and save it in a folder.
You should receive your PAN card in 15 to 30 days or once the application has been processed.
Remember I told you to save your Acknowledgment Number earlier? You can print out your PAN application or download your ePAN from the NSDL portal using the Acknowledgement Number that you saved earlier.
The ePAN is an instant PAN card that you can download in just 48 hours after submitting your PAN card application. It contains your PAN number and all your PAN details and can be used for all e-verifications where PAN card is required.
If you need to make changes in your PAN card details, such as your name, address, mobile number or gender, you can do this online too.
Read these steps to know how to make corrections to PAN cards online. Keep the following documents ready as you will have to submit them along with the form:
Visit the Application for PAN Change Request page on NSDL website and read all the guidelines before you click on the link named Online Application for Changes Or Correction in PAN Data (PAN Change Request Form).
Select the PAN correction option you want from the Application Type dropdown, and fill out your personal details. After submitting, you will receive a token or Acknowledgement Number.
Once you pay the fee to request a new PAN Card or changes or corrections, it generally takes 15 to 30 days for PAN card correction and you should receive your new PAN card within 45 days of submitting your application.
It is now mandatory to link your Aadhaar with your PAN card so that your Income Tax Returns can be processed.
