Dear Venu,
First of all, don't panic. It is very simple to reapply for it. Most people think that applying for a PAN is a long process, and it takes even longer when reapplying for it. However, the reapplication of a PAN is a straightforward process.
- First, if you have lost your PAN card, you need to notify the police and obtain an FIR from your local police station. You also need to write a letter requesting the issuance of a duplicate PAN card (to prevent any misuse of the lost or misplaced PAN Card).
- Second, you need to fill out a change request or correction form.
- "You can also download a correction form from the websites of UTI Technology Services Ltd (UTITSL), National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL), or the I-T department—'www.utitsl.co.in', 'www.tin-nsdl.com' or you can get a hard copy from any of the branches of UTITSL and NSDL. You can easily locate your nearest center from the websites of UTITSL, NSDL, or the I-T department."
- Now, fill out the lost PAN card information on the form. If you don't have the number, you can retrieve the number of the lost card from
http://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in. You only need to fill in your name, date of birth, and your father's name to get your lost card number.
- Attach a stamp-sized photograph along with cash 94. Submit your form at PAN application centers of UTITSL and NSDL, the addresses of which are available on the I-T department website, and you will receive a new card in 15 working days.
Regards,
Sriram
