It is now possible to apply for a Permanent Account Number (PAN) through Internet and pay Rs.60 + Service Tax, as applicable, through a nominated credit card. In such cases Tatkal, PAN will be communicated through e-Mail in 5 working days. The PAN card will, however, be printed and forwarded only after supporting documents and photograph are received by M/s NSDL. Failure to send supporting documents and photograph within stipulated time may result in cancellation of PAN so allotted. At present this facility is available through M/s NSDL only, though very soon M/s UTIISL will also offer a similar facility.
