E-PAN is a digital PAN card, which you can get online immediately with the help of your Aadhaar card and Aadhaar mobile number. The Income Tax Department informed that due to the necessary maintenance on the portal, the service of Instant PAN will be interrupted.
The facility will remain closed for these two days
The Income Tax Department has informed that e-PAN service will not be available from 12 noon on 17 August 2025 to 19 August 2025. That is, during these two days you will not be able to make Instant E-Pan. However, if you have already applied for e-PAN, you can see and download its situation.
The biggest advantage of this service is that it is free, completely digital, and it does not require a photocopy or form of a document.
