The Permanent Account Number (PAN) card is a crucial document for financial transactions and tax purposes in India, issued by the Income Tax Department. The process involves an application form for Indian residents and foreign citizens, with documents required for proof of identity, address, and date of birth. The application can be done online through the official PAN portal or through a PAN service center. The fee for online applications varies depending on the recipient's address. Offline applications can be obtained from the official website or a PAN service center. The application is acknowledged and processed by the PAN processing authority. Once verified, a PAN is assigned and a PAN card is issued. The card is then sent to the applicant's address by post. UTI Infrastructure Technology and Services Limited (UTIITSL) is responsible for processing applications, verifying documents, and issuing PAN cards. For more information, visit the official website of the Income Tax Department or UTIITSL.
