India PAN Card Photo

PAN card applications require two identical 35mm x 25mm (3.5cm x 2.5cm) color photos with a plain white background. Ensure the photos are recent (taken within the last 3 months), show a front-facing portrait with 70-80% face coverage, and have no shadows, borders, or accessories (except religious/cultural attire). Affix these photos in the designated space on the acknowledgment sheet.

A PAN card requires a 35mm x 45mm biometric-compliant photograph with a plain white background. The image must be recent (less than 3 months old), show a neutral expression with eyes open and facing the camera directly, and adhere to Indian government-issued standards (no accessories like glasses or headwear unless religiously mandated).

Yes, glasses are permitted in PAN card photos if they meet these criteria: - No glare—lenses must be clear with no reflections obscuring the eyes. - No tinted/darkened lenses—eyes must be fully visible without shadows or color distortion. - No eyewear accessories—avoid hats, caps, or sunglasses. Religious headwear is allowed but must not cast shadows or cover facial features.

To create a PAN card-sized photo (3.5 cm x 2.5 cm): Step1: Capture a high-resolution photo against a plain white background with even lighting. Step2:  Position your face centrally, ensuring 70-80% frame coverage with a neutral expression and open eyes. Step3:  Crop and resize using an online tool (e.g., ipassportphoto.com) to meet India’s PAN specifications. Step4:  Print on matte-finish paper at 300 DPI, maintaining sharpness and color accuracy. Note: Avoid shadows, headwear, or accessories; photos must be under 6 months old.
