PAN services
Four distinct routes. The most important question is whether a PAN already exists. If it does, a new application is generally not the right route.
For a first-time applicant who does not already have a PAN, including an adult individual or a minor through a parent or guardian.
Already have a PAN? Choose Correction or Lost / Damaged instead.
For someone who already has a PAN and needs an eligible detail corrected or updated.
For an existing PAN when the card is lost, damaged, stolen or not received. A reprint or replacement path, not a new PAN.
Not a New PAN route. Your existing PAN still applies.
For a representative of a company, firm, trust, society or other eligible entity. Covers new, correction and related requests.

Answer for the person or organisation the PAN is for.
You already have a PAN, so a new application is not the route.
Suggested service route
You said no PAN has been issued before. New PAN Application is the relevant route, including a minor applying through a parent or guardian.
Suggested service route
You already have a PAN and a detail needs changing. Correction / Update keeps your existing PAN. Do not apply for a new one.
Suggested service route
You already have a PAN and the card is the problem. A reprint or replacement path is generally relevant, not a new PAN.
Suggested service route
Entity requests differ from individual applications. CAREALL first qualifies the organisation type and request.

That is fine. A person at CAREALL can help you choose the right route before anything starts. Please do not share identity numbers in your first message.

Get started
If your situation does not fit neatly into one route, a quick call or WhatsApp message helps you avoid the wrong application.
CAREALL provides assistance within its verified service scope. A request does not by itself represent government filing, approval, PAN allotment or card dispatch.
