If your PAN card is lost, file an FIR at the nearest police station and apply for a reissue online through the NSDL or UTIITSL website.
Losing a PAN card can be stressful, but the process to recover it is straightforward. First, file an FIR at the nearest police station to document the loss for security purposes. Visit the NSDL or UTIITSL portal to request a duplicate PAN card.
You will have to attach an identity proof, address proof, and a copy of the FIR. The new PAN card will be delivered to the registered address on payment of the prescribed fee, or you may download an e-PAN for instant use.
Ensure that all important documents are kept safely to avoid their misuse or identity theft.
