    You can only apply for a PAN card through the Form 49A or Form 49AA. If you have applied for a PAN card application through plain paper, then your application will be rejected.

    All the details must be filled in on the application form 49A for PAN card application. You have to enter all the information about your details, and contact details, and attach all the documents with your application as per Rule 114(4) of Income Tax Rules, 1962.

    PAN application should be made on Form 49A, which is important to fill out as per the guidelines of the Income Tax Department. The PAN card services are managed by the UTI Investor Services Ltd (UTIISL) in all the cities and towns. Income tax departments and the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) dispatch PAN card services from the TIN Facilitation centers.
