Online applications to obtain a PAN or Permanent Account Number can be made through either of the websites of National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and UTI Infrastructure Technology And Services Limited (UTIITSL). Quoting of PAN – a ten-digit alphanumeric identification number issued by the Income Tax Department – is mandatory for carrying out a number of tasks, such as making a payment above Rs. 50,000 in cash at a hotel and sale/purchase of a motor vehicle other than two-wheeler. Depository NSDL charges a fee of Rs. 56-Rs. 862 (excluding taxes) for every PAN card application made online, according to its e-governance website, tin-nsdl.com.
Here’s all you need to know about the charges levied by NSDL for PAN applications made online:
The fee varies based on whether the applicant requires a physical PAN card. For example, NSDL charges a fee of Rs. 56-61 for every online application wherein a resident applicant only wants to be allotted a PAN and not be issued a PAN card.
A physical PAN card is printed and dispatched at the communication address provided by the applicant, whereas an electronic- or e-PAN card is sent in a PDF format through email.
