I just applied for my PAN card last month through the NSDL website and got it in 12 calendar days from application to delivery. Here's my timeline:

  • Day 1: Applied online, paid fees
  • Day 3: Received SMS that application was processed
  • Day 5: Card dispatched via India Post
  • Day 12: Received at my doorstep in Mumbai

The speed can depend on your location and how busy they are. Make sure your documents are clear and your photo meets the specifications to avoid delays. You can check the current status on the NSDL website: https://www.onlineservices.nsdl.com/paam/endUserRegisterContact.html

The time to get a PAN card in India varies depending on how you apply:

  • Online application through NSDL or UTIITSL: 10-15 working days typically
  • Offline application: 15-20 working days usually
  • Tatkal application: 3-5 working days but costs extra

This timeline includes processing, printing, and delivery via India Post. The actual processing time at the PAN center is pretty quick - most of the time is spent in transit. You can track your application status online using the acknowledgement number they provide. If you haven't received it within 30 days, you should contact the PAN service center with your acknowledgement number.
