Reprint Pan Card: Once a current PAN holder has lost his or her PAN card, the need for a duplicate PAN card arises. This can cause significant problems as it is a critical paper, so the PAN holder must file a FIR with the police department. The other situations where there might be a need for a duplicate PAN card involve a change in the name of the PAN holder or father or when the original card is compromised. In such situations, applicants should apply for a new PAN passport, and they should also surrender the old card.
