    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.
