New PAN cards issued by the income tax department will cost Rs 105, including taxes. The I-T department has recently informed new measures for authenticating personal and proprietary data of an individual or entity for allocation of new PAN cards. The move has been taken to curb the issues of fake or multiple Permanent Account Number (PAN) cards.

“The cost of getting a new PAN card, including all taxes, is Rs 105. This service charge by-and-large has been kept unchanged. The new procedures of checking original documents for proving date of birth, address and identity have been brought in to check the complaints of fake PAN cards or multiple cards obtained by any entity," a senior I-T official was quoted by media as saying.

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) from February 3, informed those needing PAN will have to give identity proof, address proof and date of birth enclosed with their application forms and they will be assessed against their original documents when applications are submitted at PAN  card centres.

However, the original documents will be given back to applicants after on-the-spot verification. The applicant has to self-attest the photocopies, according to reports by (TOI).

“The technology systems of the I-T department will now be made error-free and robust once PAN card data is entered as correctly as possible,” the official said, adding that the new cards issued henceforth will feature the name and date of birth of the applicant and not the address details.
