Important point related to E-PAN.

  1. Since new Instant E-PAN is based on Aadhaar No. so a foreign citizen cannot apply to this E-PAN.
  2. Instant E-PAN for getting PAN only if you never have been allotted PAN before this.
  3. You cannot make any amendment or changes in existing PAN through this facility, this is only for generating new PAN.
  4. This E-PAN will generate in pdf form, you can take its printout for physical copy but you will not get any physical card.
  5. All the details on Aadhaar Card such as name, father’s name, date of birth, address will be captured for PAN database as well so we cannot have different details for Aadhaar & PAN.
  6. You do not need to upload any document for E-PAN, not even the copy of Aadhar Card, only you need to verify Aadhaar through OTP.
