The time it takes to receive your e-PAN card after applying depends on several factors, including the processing time at the income tax department and the mode of delivery you have selected.
Typically, it takes around 10 to 15 days for an e-PAN card to be generated and delivered to the applicant’s registered address after the application has been processed and approved.
You can track the status of your e-PAN card application by logging in to the NSDL (National Securities Depository Limited) website and checking the status under the “Track PAN/TAN Application Status” section.
If there are any issues with your application, the income tax department will notify you by email or post. In such cases, you may need to provide additional information or documents, which could further delay the process.
It’s advisable to keep a record of the acknowledgement number of your e-PAN card application and to contact the NSDL customer service centre in case of any issues
What is e-PAN Card
The e-PAN (Electronic Permanent Account Number) card is a digital version of the physical PAN card issued by the Indian government for tax purposes. The e-PAN card contains the same information as a physical PAN card, including the holder’s name, date of birth, photograph, signature, and PAN number.
The e-PAN card can be accessed and downloaded from the NSDL (National Securities Depository Limited) website, or through the official mobile app of the income tax department. The e-PAN card is a legally valid document and can be used for various purposes, including filing income tax returns, opening a bank account, and making investments in financial instruments.
The e-PAN card is part of the Indian government’s efforts to digitize and streamline the tax system and provides a convenient and secure way for individuals to access their PAN card information online. The application process for the e-PAN card is the same as for a physical PAN card, and applicants are required to provide basic personal and financial information, along with supporting documents.
