What it is
New PAN, explained in plain English.
A new PAN application allots a Permanent Account Number to someone who has never held one. From 1 April 2026 the application is made on the Income-tax Rules 2026 forms - Form 93 (Indian citizens), Form 94 (Indian entities), Form 95 (foreign citizens) and Form 96 (foreign entities) - replacing the old 49A / 49AA. The Aadhaar-only route has ended, so a separate proof of date of birth is now required.
TL;DR
From 1 April 2026 use Form 93/94/95/96 by applicant type; 49A/49AA are discontinued. Aadhaar alone is no longer enough - a separate DOB proof is required. Government fee is ₹107 (physical card, Indian address) or ₹72 (e-PAN). PAN 2.0 only adds an optional free QR e-PAN.
