Along with the Aadhaar card, the PAN card is one of the essential documents for Indian

citizens. Sometimes it may not be possible to provide a physical card. In such instances, an

e-PAN card comes in handy. You can download this document from the official website of

the Income Tax Department. However, knowing the PAN card password is imperative before

applying for an e-Pan card.

use them.

What Is a PAN Card Password?

The PAN Card is a crucial document for Indian citizens as it is widely accepted as valid proof
on several websites. However, if you have lost this document and want to avoid the hassle of
going to the administrative office, you can apply for a duplicate PAN and download your e-
PAN. It is a seamless process, but the downloaded e-PAN card will be password-secured. To
get access, the user must input their password.

The PAN card password is a password to open the e-PAN card pdf. This password consists of

your date of birth or date of incorporation as written in your PAN card application form in

the DDMMYYYY format.

PAN Card Password Format

The password format is simple and easy to remember as it consists of your date of birth or
date of incorporation without any symbol. The format for such a password will be in
DDMMYYYY with no space or punctuation marks, etc. For example, if your date of birth is

05/07/1995, then your PAN card password format will be 05071995.

PAN holders whose recent application was processed through NSDL-e-Gov can avail the
facility to download e-PAN with the help of your secured password.

PAN Card PDF Password - Example

It is imperative to enter the password to open the downloaded e-PAN card online. This
password is the first defence against cybercriminals and their unauthorised access to your
personal information or data. Thus, the PAN card password is necessary to open the

downloaded PDF.

For example, the password for the e-PAN card for a company will be the company's date of
formation. Thus, if the date is 16-02-2001, then the password to download will be 16022001.
After entering the date of incorporation as the password, the document will open.
