How to Apply for a Duplicate PAN Card Onlin

Complete Process 2025

A Permanent Account Number (PAN) is an essential identification document for all taxpayers and individuals conducting financial transactions in India. If your PAN card is lost, stolen, damaged, or misplaced, don’t worry—applying for a duplicate PAN card online is now easier than ever. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the complete online process to apply for a duplicate PAN card in 2025, including fees, documents required, and official websites.

✅ When Do You Need a Duplicate PAN Card?

You should apply for a duplicate PAN card if:

• Your PAN card is lost or stolen

• It is damaged, torn, or unreadable

• You want a reprint of the PAN card without changing any details

💡 Note: If you want to change or update any details like name, date of birth, or address, you must apply for a “correction” instead.
