How to get a Physical Pan Card from e-Pan Card with signature

 

e-Pan Card is a Pan Card with a digital signature, and it will be issued in an electronic format. We can get e-Pan within 10 to 15 minutes by using Aadhaar e-KYC. The e-Pan facility is available to all those who have an Aadhaar number issued by UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India).

But what's the problem with e-Pan is that it doesn't have our Signature and Father's name. For any online services and other online verification processes, a valid signature is required on Card. Here in this e-Pan, our signature is not printed on the Card. It only contains an enhanced QR code that can be utilized for offline pan verification.

To add signature in e-Pan Card, you need to visit the NSDL website and select "Changes or Correction in existing PAN Data / Reprint of PAN Card."
