Applicable charges to apply for a duplicate PAN card online or offline in or outside India are represented in the table below:
Indian citizens outside the country should also apply for a PAN card to carry out transactions abroad. The chart below represents the PAN card fees for citizens living outside India:
Individuals may need to change their PAN card or reprint the existing PAN card if it is damaged or lost. Indian residents and NRIs can apply for a new or reprinted PAN card under certain circumstances, but the charges will vary.
For individuals residing in India, the applicable charge for a new or reprinted PAN card is ₹110. It includes a processing fee of ₹93 and a Goods and Services tax of 18%. Applicants outside India must pay an application charge of ₹1,020 for a reprinted PAN card. It includes an application fee of ₹93 and ₹771 for dispatch charges and 18% Goods and Services tax.
Individuals residing in India need to pay a total amount of ₹66 for the e-PAN card. It includes a fee of ₹56 and a GST of ₹10.
Depending on the communication address of the PAN applicant, the following payment modes for PAN card charges are applicable in India:
If your communication address is within India, you can pay the PAN card charges via Demand Drafts, Credit, or Debit Cards. You can also pay the fees for a PAN card online through Net Banking. However, if you are paying with a credit/debit card, you must pay a nominal extra charge of 2% to the bank.
In the case of Net Banking, you need to pay the service tax and ₹4 for a surcharge above the PAN card fee. If you are paying through Demand Drafts, make sure it is in favour of “NSDL PAN” and payable in Mumbai.
If your communication address is outside India, you can pay the PAN charges through Demand Drafts, credit cards, or debit cards. As mentioned above, credit or debit card payments charge an extra 2% plus service tax, and the bank can also impose taxes on PAN card fees. Besides, while paying through DD, issue it in favour of "NSDL-PAN," payable in Mumbai only.
As per the Government rules, others can make PAN card fee payments on your behalf. However, the people may vary depending on the applicant type.
HUF (Hindu Undivided Families): The Karta or Head of the Family of a HUF can make the payment.
Associations or Trusts: As per the IT Act, the authorised signatory can only pay the PAN card fee for local authorities, trusts, associations, etc.
Firms/Companies: Any partner or director of the company or firm is permitted to pay the PAN card fee on behalf of the company.
Individual Applicant: If the applicant cannot make payment himself, an immediate family member can.
It can be rejected if an applicant fails to follow the PAN application guidelines or submits an incomplete or incorrect application. In such cases, you cannot get a refund but can reapply with the same payment after making the required corrections.
Thus, a PAN card or Permanent Account Number is essential for every residential and non-residential Indian, especially for working persons.
So, if you have lost or damaged the PAN card, always apply for a reprinted one to ensure seamless banking operations. You must pay the mentioned PAN card charges to obtain the card on time.
