A PAN card is one of the most important documents and carries equivalent importance as an Aadhaar card. It is a 10-digit alphanumeric number and is given to only those who are eligible to hold it. It is required to be submitted for filing IT returns, buying a new house/property or to open a bank account, etc.
There are two official platforms through which the applicant can apply for a PAN card, one is NSDL and the other is UTIITSL. Not just applying for a PAN card, through any of the given platforms, the applicant can also track the PAN card status, re-apply for a PAN card, link the Aadhaar card to the PAN card, download it, etc. In case, the applicant opts for a PAN card offline, he/she can do the same by connecting with the authorized PAN Centre. The process to apply for a PAN card between both mediums might differ slightly; however, the documentation process remains the same.
