Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a PAN card photo?
35x25mm (3.5x2.5cm) in LANDSCAPE format. This is unusual - the width (35mm) is greater than the height (25mm). For digital submission, it should be 140x100 pixels.
Why is PAN card photo landscape instead of portrait?
PAN card has a unique landscape format to fit the card design. Most other ID photos are portrait, but PAN card specifically requires landscape orientation. Using portrait photos is the #1 reason for PAN application rejections.
What is the digital file size limit for PAN card photos?
The digital photo must be under 50KB in JPEG format, with dimensions of 140x100 pixels.
Do I need a signature photo too?
Yes, PAN card applications require both a passport-style photo (35x25mm landscape) AND a separate signature image. The signature scan must be under 50KB, in JPEG format.
Can I use my Aadhaar photo for PAN card?
No. Aadhaar photos are 35x45mm (portrait/vertical), while PAN card requires 35x25mm (landscape/horizontal). The orientation and proportions are completely different.
