A common search is \u201cdownload PAN card by name and date of birth.\u201d The honest answer: you cannot<\/strong> download a PAN card using only your name and date of birth \u2014 for security reasons the PAN (e-PAN) can be downloaded only with your PAN number or Aadhaar<\/strong>. Name and DOB can, however, help you find\/verify<\/strong> your PAN. Here’s exactly how to do both, the right way.<\/p>\n

Why name + DOB alone won’t download a PAN<\/h2>\n

The PAN is sensitive identity data, so the download services require an identifier tied to you \u2014 your PAN number<\/strong> or Aadhaar<\/strong> (with an OTP to your registered mobile). Name and date of birth are used only to match\/verify<\/em> a record, not to release the card. Anyone promising a name+DOB download is best avoided.<\/p>\n

Step 1 \u2014 Find\/verify your PAN (using name & DOB)<\/h2>\n

On the Income Tax e-Filing portal (incometax.gov.in), the \u201cVerify PAN\u201d \/ \u201cKnow Your PAN\u201d<\/strong> service lets you confirm PAN details using your name, date of birth and mobile (OTP). This tells you your PAN status and helps you retrieve the number if you’ve forgotten it.<\/p>\n

Step 2 \u2014 Download the e-PAN<\/h2>\n

Option A \u2014 via the e-Filing portal (if PAN is linked to Aadhaar):<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to incometax.gov.in \u2192 Instant e-PAN<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. Choose Check Status \/ Download PAN<\/strong>, enter your Aadhaar<\/strong>, validate with OTP.<\/li>\n
  3. Download the e-PAN PDF.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Option B \u2014 via NSDL (Protean) or UTIITSL<\/strong> (the PAN issuers):<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open the issuer’s \u201cDownload e-PAN\u201d<\/strong> page.<\/li>\n
    2. Enter your PAN, Aadhaar, date of birth<\/strong> and validate with OTP.<\/li>\n
    3. Download the e-PAN (a nominal fee may apply after a certain period from issuance).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The e-PAN PDF is password-protected \u2014 the password is usually your date of birth in DDMMYYYY<\/strong> format.<\/p>\n

      Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n

      Can I download my PAN card with just name and date of birth?<\/h3>\n

      No. For security, the e-PAN download needs your PAN number or Aadhaar<\/strong> with OTP verification. Name and DOB can only help verify\/find your PAN.<\/p>\n

      How do I find my PAN if I’ve forgotten the number?<\/h3>\n

      Use the \u201cVerify PAN \/ Know Your PAN\u201d<\/strong> service on the Income Tax e-Filing portal with your name, DOB and mobile OTP.<\/p>\n

      What is the password to open the e-PAN PDF?<\/h3>\n

      It is typically your date of birth in DDMMYYYY<\/strong> format.<\/p>\n
