The PAN Card has become an essential document, much like the Aadhaar Card, for various financial and governmental processes. Whether you're opening a bank account or seeking to benefit from a government scheme, a PAN Card is often required.
However, people in rural and semi-urban areas have often struggled with the process of applying for a PAN Card. To address this challenge, the Income Tax Department has introduced the Digital PAN Card service, streamlining the application process. Now, individuals can obtain a digital PAN Card within just two hours by visiting their nearest retail store.
To make this service widely accessible, many PayNearby and retail outlets have been designated as PAN Service Agencies (PSAs). This includes a range of stores such as grocery shops, mobile recharge outlets, and travel agencies, where digital PAN Card applications can be efficiently processed.
