Frequently asked questions

What photo size is needed for a PAN card?
PAN card applications use a passport-style colour photo, commonly around 3.5×2.5 cm. For online PAN (Form 49A on the NSDL/Protean or UTIITSL portal), the photo is uploaded as a small JPG within a set KB limit. Always confirm the exact size on the official portal before submitting.
What is the signature size for a PAN card?
The signature is a small JPG signed in black ink on white paper, kept under the portal's KB limit. Use the Signature Resize tool to set the size, then compress to the required KB.

How do I resize a signature for a PAN card application?
Sign in black ink on white paper and scan or photograph it, then open the Signature Resize tool to set the dimensions and compress the JPG to the KB limit your PAN portal allows before uploading it with Form 49A.
