PAN Card Download: The updated PAN card will be provided to your registered email address as soon as you apply.
PAN Card Download: PAN card holders can now obtain a reprinted card with a QR code for a minimum of Rs 50 under PAN 2.0. The registered email address is where the tax department will send the new card. Taxpayers can also alter their PAN information for free in income tax records before requesting a reprint. According to The Economic Times, the updated PAN card with the QR code would be automatically emailed to the registered email address once any necessary modifications have been made.

Although it’s important to note that the Income Tax Department has been issuing PAN cards with QR codes for a few years, you can still request a reprint with a QR code if your PAN card was issued earlier.
Before asking for a reprint, you must know who issued your PAN card. Two organisations, Protean (formerly NSDL e-governance) and UTI Infrastructure Technology and Services Ltd (UTIITSL) have been selected by the income tax department to provide PAN-related services. Where to send your reprint request for a QR-coded card will depend on the issuing agency information located on the back of your current PAN card.

Here is a comprehensive guide on how to use Protean’s (formerly NSDL) web portal to get a PAN card reprint:
- Step 1: Go to https://www.onlineservices.nsdl.com/paam/ReprintEPan.html to get started.
- Step 2: Enter your date of birth, PAN, and Aadhaar (if applicable for persons) on the page that appears. Click ‘Submit’ after checking the relevant boxes.
- Step 3: After submitting, check the next page for your partially masked information as kept by the income tax department. Select whether you want your OTP delivered via email, phone, or both.
Note: ‘Generate OTP’ is selected after confirming dispatch to the registered communication address.
- Step 4: Within ten minutes of the OTP being generated, enter and validate the received one.
- Step 5: After validation, make the payment. A PAN card reprint with a QR code costs Rs 50. Remember to submit after agreeing to the service conditions.
