The e-revolution in India has added this new facility. Applying for PAN card online.

Visit : https://tin.tin.nsdl.com/pan/index.html for apply for the PAN. This web site contains complete and accurate information about applying for PAN card. I have listed only a specific set of instructions to find the AO details.

Points to note before you apply
1. Make sure you read the instructions page. They contain all information required to the fill the PAN card form (49a).

2. Some people have issues finding the AO details. Its rather simple. Follow these steps find your AO details.
