PAN Card Services — All PAN Guides Under One Roof

Guides for getting, downloading, correcting and linking your PAN through the Income Tax Department and its authorised agencies, Protean and UTIITSL. Find your task below to see which guide you need.

Which guide do I need?

Start here: A name that differs between your Aadhaar and PAN is the most common reason linking and Instant e-PAN fail. Fix the spelling on the right document first.

e-PAN, linking, and corrections

New PAN / e-PAN and Aadhaar–PAN linking both run through Income Tax / Protean style official paths. Free e-PAN (when the scheme screen offers it) still needs a valid Aadhaar OTP. Paid “instant PAN” sites that are not on the Income Tax domain are the usual trap.

Name mismatch between Aadhaar and PAN blocks linking more often than people expect. Fix the spelling on the correct ID first; do not keep retrying OTPs all night.

Quick questions

Do you file PAN forms for readers?

No. Use the official apply / link screens only.
