PAN Card related FAQs

I have PAN Card since 2010 but I never used that. Do I need to make a new Pan card?

PAN Card can be issued once for adults. It has no expiry or validity. It actually has a unique 'PAN number' that is unique to each individual.

The PAN Card does not carry a photograph for minors (children under 18 years old). To add a photo to the PAN Card, the minor must submit a 'Change Request Formula' once they turn 18.

If a person holds more than one PAN number, That's illegal.
