New PAN Card Rule for Minors – Complete Guide

About the Updated PAN Card Rule

The Income Tax Department has recently relaxed the age restriction for PAN (Permanent Account Number) issuance. Earlier, only individuals aged 18 years or above could apply. Under the new rule, minors (below 18 years) are also eligible to obtain a PAN card. The card remains essential for financial transactions exceeding ₹50,000, income‑tax filing, and investment activities in a bank account.

Age Limit

• Adults: 18 years and above (no upper limit)
• Minors: Below 18 years can obtain a PAN card with parental assistance.
