What is an e-PAN card?
An e-PAN card is a digitally signed PAN (Permanent Account Number) card issued by the Income Tax Department of India in electronic format. It is a valid proof of identity and is equivalent to the physical PAN card. The e-PAN card is issued to individuals who apply for a new PAN card or request changes or corrections to their existing PAN details.
- Here are some key points about e-PAN cards:
- Digital Format: e-PAN cards are issued and provided in electronic or digital format, usually in PDF form.
- Validity: e-PAN cards are valid proofs of identity and can be used for various financial and non-financial transactions where PAN is required.
- Instant Issuance: e-PAN cards are typically issued instantly upon successful application or request, eliminating the need for physical delivery time.
- Digital Signature: e-PAN cards are digitally signed by the Income Tax Department, ensuring their authenticity and validity.
- Accessibility: Since e-PAN cards are in electronic format, they can be easily accessed and stored on electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, or computers.
