Income Tax Department (ITD) issues Permanent Account Number (PAN) an alphanumeric ID in a form of card to any “person” who applies for it or to whom the department allows the number without an application. A taxpayer usually applies for a reprint/duplicate PAN on TIN-NSDL if they have lost or damaged the PAN card they have in their possession. In this application, the taxpayer gets a new PAN card. Not the new PAN Number. Therefore, you wouldn’t have to apply for a new PAN card.

Moreover, individuals can use this facility only if there is no change in the data such as name, address, etc. Remember you cannot update your details in the PAN using this facility.
