Lost PAN Card – Reprint / Reissue PAN

Guidance for customers who lost a physical PAN card or cannot access their PAN copy.

Service overview

If a PAN card is lost, do not apply for another PAN number; locate the existing PAN and use an authorised e-PAN download or reprint service. Losing a physical PAN card does not normally mean that a new PAN number is required. Pan Daddy helps agents guide customers toward locating existing PAN details, checking for an available e-PAN, requesting a reprint through the appropriate authorised service, and protecting personal information if the card may have been misused.
