If you want to start earning money in India, you’ll need a PAN Card. In this article, you’ll learn how to make PAN card online free with or without Aadhaar card.

PAN stands for Permanent Account Number and a PAN card is important for every woman, even if you are not earning, as it can be given as an identity proof and is also required for tax purposes.

If you want to start an online business or get a job today, you will need a PAN card so your employer or clients can transfer money to you.

A PAN card is required for almost everything nowadays, such as opening a bank account, creating a PayTm account, accepting money online and making investments.

When you apply for your PAN card, you will receive a unique ten-digit alphanumeric number and get a laminated card from the Government. Keep in mind that it is illegal to possess more than one PAN card.

To apply for a PAN card, you can either pay an accountant to get it done for you or read on to learn how to create a PAN card online.

You may see many apps that claim to help you make PAN online free, but it’s best to avoid using them as they could misuse your personal information.

How To Make PAN Card From Aadhaar Card

Do you want to know how to make PAN card with Aadhaar card or how to make PAN card in 10 minutes?

Since February 2020, if you have an Aadhaar card, you don't need to fill up a long application form and wait for many days to get a new PAN card.

If you have an Aadhaar card, you can get an instant PAN card online free by entering your Aadhaar number in the instant e-PAN card application form here.

Just click on "Get New PAN," enter your Aadhaar number and the Captcha code to generate an OTP on your Aadhaar-linked mobile phone. Now validate the OTP and validate Aadhaar details and you're done!

The PAN allotment based on Aadhaar is free of cost and you can download the PAN PDF in just 10 minutes after submission.

Although the ePAN card is as good as a physical copy and can be submitted for any online transactions, you can still order a laminated PAN card for just ₹50 if you want.

How To Make PAN Card Without Aadhaar Card

Read the steps below to learn how to make new PAN cards if you don’t have an Aadhar card or if you want to know how to create business PAN card.

Go to the Online PAN application form on the official NSDL website in order to apply for the PAN Card.

Here are the personal details and documents you need to apply for a PAN card online without Aadhar card:

  • Your Legal Name
  • Father’s Name
  • Date of Birth
  • Gender
  • Photograph
  • Signature
  • Address Proof
  • Age Proof

Indian Citizens must use Form 49A, while foreign citizens must use Form 49AA to apply for the PAN card.

If you are applying for a PAN card for yourself, choose Individual. Otherwise, you can select one of the other options available - such as Company, LLP, Firm - as applicable.

Fill in all the personal details like date of birth and your current legal name. If you have changed your name after marriage, use your married name.

Enter a mobile number that belongs to you. Once you submit the application, you will receive an Acknowledgement Number. Write this down and keep it safe.

Once you have saved the Acknowledgement Number, click on the link to continue with your application. On the new page, you will see three options to submit your documents.

#1. Paperless submission through e-KYC and e-Sign

#2. A scanned image through e-Sign

#3. Physical submission of documents

Most people prefer submitting through option #2 – scanned image.

Next, you will be required to enter your personal details such as name, date of birth and address.

When you submit your application to make a new PAN card, you will have to provide the AO code in your application. AO Code is a combination of Area Code, AO Type, Range Code and AO Number.

You can get this information from the Income Tax Office or you can search for your AO Codes on the AO Code search for PAN website by selecting the city based on the office or residence address you have entered.

Next, you will need to fill in the details of the documents you’re submitting for age and address proof and upload them.  After uploading these address and age proof documents, you will be asked to make a nominal payment.

Now you will be asked to choose how you want to submit your documents with the PAN application to NSDL. Check your email inbox for the acknowledgement from NSDL and save it in a folder.

You should receive your PAN card in 15 to 30 days or once the application has been processed. 

How To Make ePAN Card Online

Remember I told you to save your Acknowledgment Number earlier? You can print out your PAN application or download your ePAN from the NSDL portal using the Acknowledgement Number that you saved earlier.
