    Click on 'Next' to proceed with your PAN application.

    Assessing Officer

    Step 4: Provide details regarding your Assessing Officer (AO)

    After clicking on 'Next', you'll get redirected to a page asking the Assessing Officer (AO) code.

    For this, select one of the four choices given at the top - Indian Citizens, NRI and Foreign Citizens, Defense Employees, or Government Category.

    Now, select your state and area of residence. Choose your AO code from the drop-down list and it will auto-fill the form.

    Step 5: Upload supporting documents and proceed to pay

    Now, select and upload the documents you want to use as proof of age and residence.

    Then, upload your photograph and signature and click on the 'Submit' button.

    Now you will be redirected to the payment page. You may choose to pay the PAN application fee using your debit/credit cards, demand draft, or net banking. The application fee for Indian citizens is Rs. 115.90.

    Authentication

    Step 6: Authenticate PAN application and get your PAN card

    After making the payment, you will be required to authenticate the PAN application process via an OTP sent to the mobile/e-mail linked to your Aadhaar.
