Download Your ePAN Card from NSDL and UTITSL Portals

The ePAN card, or electronic Permanent Account Number card, is a digitally signed version of the PAN card issued by the Indian Income Tax Department. It serves as a valid proof of the allocation of your PAN. If you’ve recently received your PAN card or need to re-download it, you can do so through the NSDL or UTITSL portals. This article will guide you through downloading your ePAN card from these two official platforms.

Downloading ePAN Card through the NSDL Portal

The NSDL portal offers two pathways for downloading your ePAN card: one for PANs issued within the last 30 days and the other for older PANs. Here are the steps for each:

6. Once you receive the OTP, enter it and click ‘Validate.’
7. After successful validation, you can click ‘Download PDF.’

Downloading ePAN Card through UTITSL Portal

UTIITSL, or UTI Infrastructure Technology And Service Limited, also offers a platform for downloading your ePAN card. Here’s how you can do it:

Important Note:

Keep in mind that downloading the ePAN card is free of charge if it was issued within the last month due to a fresh PAN application or change/correction request. However, in other cases, you will be required to make an online payment of INR 8.26 for each download of the ePAN card through the UTITSL portal.
