Open the e-PAN card PDF from Protean (NSDL), UTIITSL or the income tax site. Free, no signup. Runs entirely in your browser; files are never uploaded.

## How it works

Whether your e-PAN came from Protean (formerly NSDL), UTIITSL or the income tax portal's Instant e-PAN, the PDF is locked with your date of birth as eight digits: day, month, year. Someone born on 7 March 1992 types 07031992. Companies, firms, trusts and HUFs use their date of incorporation or formation instead. Instant e-PAN takes the date from your Aadhaar, so if the two records differ, use the date on your Aadhaar. Drop the PDF, pick your date of birth, and it opens; you can then save a copy without the password to print or attach to a form. Nothing is uploaded.

## How to use it

1. **Drop your e-PAN PDF.** From Protean, UTIITSL or the income tax site.
2. **Pick your date of birth.** It is turned into DDMMYYYY for you.
3. **Save or print.** Download a copy without the password.
