Department. It is the official tax identity of a person or an entity in India, and it has lifetime validity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A partnership firm <\/strong>is created when two or more people come together to run a business and share its profits. The partners own the business, the firm needs its own PAN card for tax and legal purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This PAN is separate from the personal PAN cards of the partners. It is required for <a href=\"https:\/\/whizseed.com\/service\/income-tax-return-filing\">filing tax returns<\/a>, opening a bank account, registering for GST, and handling other business-related activities. That is why getting a PAN card is an essential step for every partnership firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Apply_for_a_Partnership_Firm_PAN_Card_Online_Step_by_Step\"><\/span>How to Apply for a Partnership Firm PAN Card Online (Step by Step)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can apply for the firm&#8217;s PAN online through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.proteantech.in\/\"><strong>Protean<\/strong><\/a><strong> (formerly NSDL)<\/strong> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.utiitsl.com\/\"><strong>UTIITSL<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong> Here are the simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the official <strong>Protean (NSDL)<\/strong> or <strong>UTIITSL<\/strong> PAN application website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under <strong>&#8220;Application Type,&#8221;<\/strong> select the new PAN application form for Indian entities (<strong>Form 94<\/strong> from 1 April 2026;

You usually need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Partnership Deed<\/strong> &#8211; a copy of the <strong>notarised partnership deed<\/strong> (the most important document).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Registration Certificate, if the partnership firm has been officially registered with the Registrar of Firms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Proof of office address<\/strong> &#8211; Business address proof, such as a rent agreement and utility bill for rented premises, or a utility bill for owned premises.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/whizseed.com\/service\/digital-signature-certificate\"><strong>Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)<\/strong><\/a> of the authorised partner if applying fully online (paperless).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Authorised partner&#8217;s details and signature<\/strong> with the firm&#8217;s rubber stamp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep photocopies of the registration certificate and partnership deed handy.

Here is a general fee guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For a firm with an <strong>Indian communication address<\/strong>, the fee is around <strong>\u20b9100 to \u20b9110<\/strong> (including taxes).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For a <strong>foreign communication address<\/strong>, the fee is higher (several hundred rupees) to cover dispatch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>e-PAN (digital PAN)<\/strong> option is usually <strong>cheaper<\/strong> than a physical card delivered by post.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can pay the application fee using net banking, a debit card, a credit card, a cheque, or a demand draft. Because the PAN application fee is small, there is usually no need to pay high charges to agents. Most applicants can complete the process on their own without difficulty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_Does_It_Take_to_Get_the_Firms_PAN_Card\"><\/span>How Long Does It Take to Get the Firm&#8217;s PAN Card?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you submit a correct application:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/whizseed.com\/blogs\/how-to-open-e-pan-card-pdf-password-pan-card-password-format-example\/\"><strong>e-PAN (digital copy)<\/strong><\/a> can be issued quite quickly after verification, often within a few working days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>physical PAN card<\/strong> is usually delivered to the firm&#8217;s registered office within about <strong>15 to 20 working days.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The time required to receive your PAN card can differ from case to case. It mainly depends on document verification and the speed of postal delivery. The fastest route is the <strong>paperless DSC-based application<\/strong> with <strong>correct, matching details<\/strong>, so your application does not get stuck for corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Check_Partnership_Firm_PAN_Card_Status\"><\/span>How to Check Partnership Firm PAN Card Status<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After applying, you can track your PAN easily using the <strong>acknowledgement\/token number<\/strong> you received:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the <strong>Protean (NSDL)<\/strong> or <strong>UTIITSL<\/strong> PAN status page (whichever you applied through).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>&#8220;PAN \u2014 New \/ Change Request.&#8221;<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter your <strong>acknowledgement number.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press <strong>Submit<\/strong> to see your application status.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Checking the status helps you know whether your PAN is being processed, dispatched, or needs any correction. You can track it until the physical card is delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Income-tax_Rules_Form_49A_Replaced_by_Form_94\"><\/span>Income-tax Rules: Form 49A Replaced by Form 94<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most important change for 2026, and many older guides still get it wrong. Under the new <strong>Income-tax Rules, 2026<\/strong> (notified under the Income-tax Act, 2025), the government <strong>replaced the old Forms 49A and 49AA<\/strong> with a set of <strong>four new category-specific forms \u2014 Form 93, 94, 95, and 96 \u2014 effective 1 April 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the simple breakdown of who uses which form:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-background has-fixed-layout\" style=\"background-color:#f7f6bf\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>New Form<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Who Uses It<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Form 93<\/td><td>Indian citizens (individuals), including NRIs with an Indian passport<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Form 94<\/td><td>Indian companies and entities, including partnership firms, LLPs, trusts, BOI\/AOP<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Form 95<\/td><td>Individuals who are not Indian citizens (foreign nationals and OCI cardholders)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Form 96<\/td><td>Foreign entities incorporated outside India<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So a <strong>partnership firm now applies using Form 94<\/strong>, not the old Form 49A. Key points to remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>From 1 April 2026, only the new PAN application forms are accepted. Old forms are no longer valid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Applications that were <strong>pending as of 31 March 2026<\/strong> using the old forms remain <strong>valid<\/strong> no need to reapply.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The new forms make <strong>mobile number and email mandatory<\/strong>, so you can track your application and get the <a href=\"https:\/\/whizseed.com\/blogs\/what-is-e-pan-card-apply-status-and-download\/\"><strong>ePAN digitally<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can apply through <strong>Protean (NSDL), UTIITSL, or the Income Tax Department website.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Because most websites still mention &#8220;Form 49A,&#8221; knowing the correct <strong>Form 94<\/strong> for firms keeps your application accurate and avoids rejection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Does_a_Partnership_Firm_Need_Its_Own_PAN_Card\"><\/span>Why Does a Partnership Firm Need Its Own PAN Card?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A partnership firm must have its own PAN card. The partners&#8217; personal PAN cards cannot be used in place of the firm&#8217;s PAN. Here is why it is so important:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Filing Income Tax Returns:<\/strong> A firm must file ITR <strong>every year<\/strong>, whether it makes a profit or a loss. The firm&#8217;s PAN is required for this.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Proof of the firm&#8217;s existence:<\/strong> The PAN, along with the partnership deed or registration certificate, acts as proof that the firm exists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Opening a bank account:<\/strong> Banks need the firm&#8217;s PAN to open a current account in the firm&#8217;s name.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>GST registration:<\/strong> A firm needs its PAN to register for GST.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Deducting and depositing TDS:<\/strong> The firm uses its PAN (and TAN) to handle TDS on payments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High-value transactions:<\/strong> Many financial dealings legally require the firm to quote its PAN.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Without a PAN, a partnership firm cannot legally run its tax and banking work. So getting the PAN is one of the <strong>first steps<\/strong> after forming the firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_Do_Before_Applying_for_the_Partnership_Firm_PAN_Card\"><\/span>Things to Do Before Applying for the Partnership Firm PAN Card&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before applying, make sure the following requirements are ready:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prepare and notarise the partnership deed<\/strong> through a public notary in India.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Name an authorised (managing) partner<\/strong> in the deed, who will sign on behalf of the firm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mention the date and place<\/strong> the partnership business began in the deed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make sure all pages of the deed are signed<\/strong> by all partners and by two or more witnesses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get a rubber stamp<\/strong> with the firm&#8217;s and the authorised partner&#8217;s name, for signing the application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Decide the registered office address<\/strong> and keep its proof ready.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing these first means your PAN application will have all the right details and documents from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Mistakes_to_Avoid_for_Partnership_Firm_PAN_Card\"><\/span>Common Mistakes to Avoid for Partnership Firm PAN Card<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many firm PAN applications get delayed over small errors. Avoid these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Using the old Form 49A after 1 April 2026<\/strong> \u2014 firms must now use <strong>Form 94.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Name mismatch<\/strong> \u2014 the firm&#8217;s name must match the registration certificate\/deed exactly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wrong date<\/strong> \u2014 use the <strong>date of the partnership deed<\/strong>, not a random date.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Filling personal fields<\/strong> \u2014 leave gender, parents&#8217; names, and the firm&#8217;s Aadhaar field blank.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Missing notarisation<\/strong> \u2014 an un-notarised deed can lead to rejection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Incomplete address proof<\/strong> \u2014 include the NOC and utility bill where the office is rented.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Paying agents heavily<\/strong> \u2014 the official fee is only around \u20b9100\u2013\u20b9110.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A careful, correct application is the easiest way to get the PAN without going back and forth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PAN_vs_TAN_for_a_Partnership_Firm_Whats_the_Difference\"><\/span>PAN vs TAN for a Partnership Firm: What&#8217;s the Difference?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many firm owners get confused between PAN and TAN. Both are issued by the Income Tax Department, but they serve different purposes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-background has-fixed-layout\" style=\"background-color:#f4f3bc\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Point<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>PAN<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>TAN<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Full Form<\/td><td>Permanent Account Number<\/td><td>Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Purpose<\/td><td>Tax identity of the firm; used for ITR filing, banking, GST, and other tax-related activities<\/td><td>Used for deducting and depositing TDS\/TCS with the government<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>When Needed<\/td><td>Required for every firm or business entity<\/td><td>Required only if the firm deducts TDS or collects TCS on payments<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Format<\/td><td>10-character alphanumeric code<\/td><td>10-character alphanumeric code (different structure from PAN)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Every partnership firm needs a PAN. A firm needs a TAN only when it has to deduct TDS \u2014 for example, on salaries, rent, or contractor payments above the limit. If your firm makes such payments, apply for a TAN separately after getting the PAN.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Correct_Details_or_Get_a_Duplicate_Firm_PAN\"><\/span>How to Correct Details or Get a Duplicate Firm PAN<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the firm&#8217;s PAN has the wrong detail, or the card is lost. You can fix both online:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Correction\/change in PAN:<\/strong> If the firm&#8217;s name, address, or other detail is wrong, use the <strong>PAN correction request<\/strong> on the Protean (NSDL) or UTIITSL portal. Select the <strong>&#8220;Changes or Correction in existing PAN&#8221;<\/strong> option, update the field, attach proof (like the updated deed), and pay the small fee. Under the 2026 rules, dedicated correction forms are used for changes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lost or damaged card (reprint):<\/strong> If the firm&#8217;s PAN number is unchanged but the card is lost or damaged, apply for a <strong>reprint\/duplicate PAN card<\/strong> with the same number, or simply download the <strong>e-PAN<\/strong> if available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep the firm&#8217;s details updated, because a wrong PAN detail can cause problems in GST, banking, and TDS later. Always make corrections only through the official portals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Registered_vs_Unregistered_Partnership_Firm_Does_It_Matter_for_PAN\"><\/span>Registered vs Unregistered Partnership Firm: Does It Matter for PAN?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the Partnership Act, 1932, it is <strong>not strictly mandatory<\/strong> to register a partnership firm \u2014 but registration brings important <strong>legal benefits<\/strong>, such as the ability to file a case against a third party or another partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the PAN application, you can apply with a notarised partnership deed even if the firm is not registered with the Registrar of Firms. If the firm is registered, you also provide the certificate of registration. Either way, the partnership deed is the core document. Many experts still suggest registering the firm, because it makes other steps like bank accounts, loans, and legal protection much smoother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Smart_Tips_for_a_Smooth_PAN_Application\"><\/span>Smart Tips for a Smooth PAN Application<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following tips can help speed up the process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use the correct form (Form 94) for the partnership firm in 2026.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Match the firm&#8217;s name exactly with the deed\/registration certificate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to complete the PAN application online without paperwork and speed up the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep the notarised deed and address proof ready before you start.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After submitting the application, save the acknowledgement number carefully. It helps you check the status of your PAN application later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use only official portals (Protean\/NSDL, UTIITSL, or the Income Tax website) and avoid costly agents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting a PAN card for a partnership firm is a simple but essential step for any partnership business in India. The firm needs its own PAN to file tax returns, open a bank account, register for GST, and handle TDS so it is best done right after forming the firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use Form 94, choose the &#8220;Firm&#8221; category, and submit the required documents, including the partnership deed and address proof. Make sure all information matches your records to avoid delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After successful verification, the PAN card is generally delivered within two to three weeks. Once received, your firm can confidently manage its tax, banking, and regulatory requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_FAQs\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Which form is used to apply for a partnership firm PAN card in 2026?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From <strong>1 April 2026<\/strong>, a partnership firm uses <strong>Form 94<\/strong> (for Indian entities), which replaced the old <strong>Form 49A.<\/strong> While applying online, select the category <strong>&#8220;Firm.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Is a PAN card mandatory for a partnership firm?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. A partnership firm must have its <strong>own PAN<\/strong> to file income tax returns, open a bank account, register for GST, and deduct TDS. The firm is a separate taxpayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. What documents are required for a partnership firm PAN card?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mainly the <strong>notarised partnership deed<\/strong>, the <strong>certificate of registration<\/strong> (if registered), and <strong>proof of office address<\/strong> (rent agreement, utility bill, and NOC if rented). A <strong>DSC<\/strong> of the authorised partner is needed for paperless filing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. How can I apply for a partnership firm PAN card online?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apply through <strong>Protean (NSDL)<\/strong> or <strong>UTIITSL<\/strong>, choose the Indian-entity form (Form 94) and category <strong>&#8220;Firm,&#8221;<\/strong> fill the firm&#8217;s details, pay the fee, and submit. With a DSC it is fully online; otherwise, post the signed acknowledgement and documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. What is the fee for a partnership firm PAN card?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fee is around <strong>\u20b9100\u2013\u20b9110<\/strong> for an Indian communication address (higher for a foreign address). The e-PAN option is usually cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. How long does it take to get a partnership firm PAN card?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>physical card<\/strong> usually arrives in about <strong>15\u201320 working days<\/strong>, while the <strong>e-PAN<\/strong> can be issued faster after successful verification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Who signs the PAN application for a partnership firm?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>authorised (managing) partner<\/strong> named in the partnership deed signs the application, along with the firm&#8217;s <strong>rubber stamp.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. Do all partners need to sign the PAN application form?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. For the PAN application, <strong>only the authorised partner<\/strong> signs the form. However, <strong>all partners<\/strong> must sign every page of the partnership deed itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9. Can I get a PAN for an unregistered partnership firm?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. You can apply using a <strong>notarised partnership deed<\/strong> even if the firm is not registered with the Registrar of Firms. Registration is optional but recommended for legal benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10. Is Aadhaar required for a partnership firm PAN card?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. The <strong>firm&#8217;s<\/strong> PAN application does not use Aadhaar (the Aadhaar field is left blank), because the applicant is a firm, not an individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11. How do I check my partnership firm PAN application status?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the <strong>acknowledgement\/token number<\/strong> on the <strong>Protean (NSDL)<\/strong> or <strong>UTIITSL<\/strong> status page to track your application until the card is delivered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12. What happens if I use the old Form 49A after April 2026?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications filed on or after <strong>1 April 2026<\/strong> using the old Form 49A are <strong>not processed.<\/strong> You must use the new <strong>Form 94<\/strong> for the firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>13. Does the partnership firm PAN expire?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. A PAN has <strong>lifetime validity<\/strong> and does not expire. You only update it if the firm&#8217;s details change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>14. Can the firm apply for GST without a PAN?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. The firm&#8217;s <strong>PAN is required to register for GST.<\/strong> That is one of the main reasons a firm needs its PAN early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>15. Does a partnership firm need a TAN as well as a PAN?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every firm needs a <strong>PAN.<\/strong> It needs a <strong>TAN<\/strong> only if it has to <strong>deduct TDS<\/strong> on payments like salaries, rent, or contractor bills. Apply for the TAN separately after getting the PAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>16. How can I correct a mistake in the firm&#8217;s PAN or get a duplicate card?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the <strong>&#8220;Changes or Correction in existing PAN&#8221;<\/strong> option on the Protean (NSDL) or UTIITSL portal, update the wrong detail with proof, and pay a small fee. For a lost card with the same PAN, apply for a <strong>reprint<\/strong> or download the <strong>e-PAN.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whizseed.com\/blogs\/apply-instant-e-pan-card-with-aadhaar\/\" \nstyle=\"display:inline-block; background:yellow; padding:8px 12px; color:black; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; border-radius:5px;\">\nApply Instant e-PAN Card with Aadhaar\n\n<\/a>\n\n<br><br>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/whizseed.com\/blogs\/how-to-download-e-pan-card-on-nsdl-or-utiitsl\/\" \nstyle=\"display:inline-block; background:lightgreen; padding:8px 12px; color:black; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; border-radius:5px;\">\nHow to Download e PAN Card on NSDL or UTIITSL?\n<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A partnership firm needs its own PAN card to meet various legal and business requirements, including filing income tax returns, opening a bank account, obtaining GST registration, and complying with TDS rules.
