Earlier we all used to apply for PAN card by filling a Form 49A and it would take around a week for them to issue the PAN. However now CBDT has announced a paperless, Aadhar based service for instant allotment of PAN number without any fees.
Getting a New PAN is just a 5 step procedure:
- Enter Aadhar details.
- Validate OTP
- Validate Aadhar details.
- Validate E-mail id (optional)
- Get PAN card.
You can visit HERE to apply for your free PAN card.
