The e-Pan card is an electronic version of the traditional physical Pan card. e-Pan is a facility that lets you apply for a new Pan card online and get it issued in a matter of minutes. It's a pre-login service and you need to be an individual who is a resident of India and has not been issued a permanent account number (PAN) but has an Aadhaar number.

You can get e-Pan for free. All you need is an Aadhaar card and a linked mobile number. Once you complete the necessary KYC (Know Your Customer) steps, you can get e-Pan in a PDF format, which is free of cost. It's a secure, online process and you don't need to print out any documents.
