Important Points to be Remember
Do note that if anything isn’t been updated on your PAN Card for a long time, you won’t be able to download a PDF copy. To download it, you first have to update the latest information such as signature or photo, and then try downloading the PDF copy again.
Your Aaadhar card must be linked with your PAN Card to download the PDF copy. If you haven’t linked it, you can follow our guide for linking Aadhar with pan here.
