What this service is
The New PAN Application route is for someone who has never been issued a PAN and needs one for the first time.
CAREALL helps you confirm this is the correct route and identify the applicant category. That includes an adult individual, a minor through a parent or guardian, or another supported first-time category. CAREALL then explains what is generally needed and guides you through the authorised process within its verified scope.
The first step is simple. Share basic contact details, and CAREALL confirms what is genuinely needed before asking for anything more.

Applying for a minor
Minor PAN is part of the New PAN route. It is not a separate service.
Parent or guardian role
A parent or guardian starts the request and acts on the minor's behalf during the process.
Start with contact details
The first request needs only the parent's or guardian's basic contact details and the applicant category.
Preparation follows official guidance
The final preparation list for a minor follows current official guidance. CAREALL confirms it for your case.

Important notes and common mistakes
Important notes
- Generally, a person is not expected to hold more than one PAN. If one already exists, use Correction / Update or Lost / Damaged instead.
- Preparation requirements can change. Current official guidance prevails over anything on this page.
- Starting a request with CAREALL does not by itself mean an application has been filed or a PAN allotted.
Common mistakes to avoid
Applying again when a PAN already exists
Check first. If a PAN was issued earlier, a correction or reprint route is usually the relevant path.
Mismatched details across documents
Differences in name spelling or date of birth between documents can cause delays. Ask CAREALL before proceeding.
Sharing identity numbers too early
Do not send Aadhaar numbers, OTPs or document images in a first message. Wait until CAREALL asks through an approved route.
Using an individual route for an organisation
Entity PANs follow a different path. Use Business / Organisation PAN Assistance.
Frequently asked questions
Who is the New PAN Application route for?
It is for a first-time applicant who does not already have a PAN, such as an adult individual, a minor through a parent or guardian, or another supported first-time category. CAREALL confirms whether your category is supported before any next step.
Can a PAN be applied for a minor?
A minor PAN request is generally handled through a parent or guardian, who acts on the minor's behalf. The exact preparation list follows current official guidance, so CAREALL confirms what is needed after understanding the situation. Start with basic contact details only.
What documents will I need for a new PAN?
Requirements generally involve proof of identity, address and date of birth, plus a photograph and signature where applicable. The accepted documents depend on the applicant category and current official guidance. CAREALL will confirm the relevant list for your case. Do not send documents through the website.
I already have a PAN. Should I apply for a new one?
Generally, no. A person is not expected to hold more than one PAN. If a detail on your existing PAN is wrong or out of date, the Correction / Update route is usually the relevant one. If the physical card is lost or damaged, the Lost / Damaged route is usually relevant. CAREALL will help confirm the correct path for your situation.
Can CAREALL guarantee my PAN or a processing time?
No. CAREALL can help you choose the right route, explain what is generally needed and assist within its authorised scope. Outcomes and timelines depend on the applicable official process, so CAREALL does not promise approval, allotment, card dispatch or a fixed timeline.
