To get a new PAN card you need not fill up a 2-page application form and wait for a few days anymore as the income tax department has launched a new facility for taxpayers allowing anyone with an Aadhaar card to get an instant PAN card online and that too for free. 

The instant e-PAN card application form needs you to input only your Aadhaar number after which an OTP is sent on your linked mobile phone number for completion of e-KYC process.

A Permanent Account Number (PAN) is issued instantly in just 10 minutes in PDF format to the applicant. Although the e-PAN card is as good as a physical copy, you can still get a laminated PAN card if you want by ordering a reprint for just Rs.50. #casansaar (Source - LiveMint Website)
