How to Track PAN card Status
To get a new PAN card, you must fill out Form 49A or 49AA. The answer to this question is whether or not you are an Indian citizen.
People who don't have a PAN card or haven't tried to get one. Take these steps:
Step 1: There is a section on the NSDL website that you can look at called "Online PAN Application."
Step 2: In order to change your PAN or get a new PAN card, fill out Form 49A (Indian Citizens) or Form 49AA (non-Indian citizens) (foreign Citizens).
Step 3: Choose a group. It's possible to choose your business type. You can start a business by yourself or with other people. There are options for trusts, limited liability partnerships, and firms to choose from when we choose a business type.
Step 4: It doesn't take long to write down your title, last name, first name, middle name, and date of birth/incorporation in DDMMYYY format, as well as your email address and your phone number. Verify the given Captcha code. Send in the form.
Step 5: You'll get a thank you note with a token number in it on the next page, so keep reading. This page says, "Continue with PAN Application Form." To move on to the next step, click "Continue."
Step 6: If you want, you can send the documents in any way that works for you. You can also choose how to do it. If you want to send application documents in person, you can do so. You can also send them digitally through e-sign.
Step 7: This is the same page where you should say what proofs you are giving to show who you are, where you live, and when you were born so that people can verify your identity. There should be a second look at a declaration to ensure it was made, where, and when. Send the form after you check it. You should not do anything wrong.
Step 8: It's time to move on. To do so, click "Proceed." You will be taken to see how to pay there. In Bill Desk, choose between a Demand Draft and a payment made through Bill Desk, then click "Pay Bill."
Step 9: People who want to pay with a Demand Draft first, will need to know the number, date, and amount of your DD. Your DD also has to come from a recognized bank.
Step 10: You can pay for things with your debit or credit card if you use Bill-desk to pay. It's also possible to pay with your debit card or credit card if you want.
Step 11: "I agree with the service terms," then pay. To get a PAN number, you will have to pay different fees based on whether or not you send your documents to NSDL or put them on the internet.
Step 12: When you pay with a credit card or bank account, you'll get a receipt that says you paid.
Step 13: Afterwards, a letter or package should be sent to send the documents that show that the payment was made. They don't need to be put together or cut together. You must sign across the picture that you put next to it on the receipt.
Please don't write on the picture on the right. Please sign the box. Ensure the person who signs it is someone the government has approved.
