Lost or damaged PAN card

Recover a card copy using the existing PAN. Decide whether the record also needs a correction before choosing reprint.

Reprint or correction?

Choose reprint when you need a replacement and the provider permits it for your existing record.
If the name, photo, signature or communication information also needs changing, review the correction route first.
Keep the earlier acknowledgement, a PAN copy if available, and current contact information ready. Ask the provider which evidence it needs for your situation.

Check the destination address and final charge on the official route before authorising a replacement.
Save the acknowledgement and dispatch reference separately.
If you have inadvertently been allotted multiple PANs, ask for surrender guidance; a reprint does not resolve duplicate allotment.

Does a reprint create a different PAN?

A reprint provides a card for an existing PAN; it is not a new allotment request.

Can I request a plastic or smart card here?

Confirm the official provider's card format and delivery options. We do not advertise an unofficial format as a distinct government PAN product.
