Instant PAN Card Through Aadhaar

Instant PAN Card Through Aadhaar

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman introduced a new facility in Budget 2020 where individuals can get instant Permanent Account Number (PAN) through their Aadhaar without submitting a detailed application form. The facility was introduced to ease the PAN allotment process for individuals.



You can obtain the instant e-PAN for free in just 10 minutes in a soft copy format. If you doubt if the e-PAN will work for all purposes, here is the answer. Instant e-PAN is equivalent to the PAN card you get after filling the detailed application form. 


PAN card is mandatory for several purposes like paying income tax, filing income tax returns (ITR), opening a bank account or Demat account, applying for a debit or credit card, etc. and you can use this e-PAN for all these purposes the same way as you do with the traditional PAN card.

Instant PAN Allotment Through Aadhaar

The new provision facilitates the allotment of instant PAN to individuals who already possess a valid Aadhaar card. The applicants will not be required to submit a detailed application form as in normal cases. The instant PAN Card will be issued in PDF format with no additional charges.


The PDF contains a QR code that includes the demographic details, such as the applicant’s name, date of birth, and photographs. You can use the 15-digit acknowledgement number to download the e-PAN from the income tax e-filing portal. The soft copy of the e-PAN will also be sent to your registered email address.


You can apply for e-PAN on NSDL and UTITSL websites, but you may have to pay a fee for the same. On the other hand, you can get the e-PAN for free on the income tax e-filing portal. 


Applying for PAN through this method will automatically link your Aadhaar with PAN.


Requirements of Instant PAN Facility

The following are the core requisites for getting instant PAN through Aadhaar-based e-KYC:


a. The applicant must possess a valid Aadhaar number that has never been linked to another PAN before.


b. The applicant’s Aadhaar must be linked to the registered mobile number.


c. Since the instant PAN through the Aadhaar facility offers a paperless process, applicants need not submit or upload any KYC documents.
