PAN Card Reprint Online: How to Get a Lost or Damaged PAN Card
Lost or damaged your PAN card? If your details are correct, you don’t need to apply again. Just order a reprint of the same PAN, and it’s posted to your address. You can also download the e-PAN instantly in the meantime.
Reprint vs correction
- Reprint: same details, new physical card. Use this if the card is lost or damaged.
- Correction / change: if any detail (name, date of birth, photo, signature, address) needs changing, apply for “Changes or Correction in PAN data” instead. See updating PAN photo and signature.
How to order a PAN card reprint
- Find out which agency issued your PAN (Protean/NSDL or UTIITSL). It’s printed on the back of older cards, or check the e-PAN.
- Open that agency’s Reprint of PAN Card page (Protean and UTIITSL both offer it online).
- Enter your PAN, Aadhaar (for individuals) and date of birth.
- Verify with the OTP on your registered mobile or email.
- Pay the reprint fee (around ₹50 for delivery in India).
- Note the acknowledgement number. The card is dispatched by post, usually within a couple of weeks.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a reprint if my address has changed?
The reprint goes to the address in the PAN records. If you’ve moved, apply for a change of address in PAN data instead.
Do I need to file a police complaint for a lost PAN card?
It isn’t required for a reprint. But if you suspect misuse, report it.
