online application reduce the chances of errors and rejection in PAN application, almost all checking is done online and submitted online, we have to send just "photo id proof + address proof" with acknowledgement printout after putting a photo and sign.
usually after receipt , in 7 days we get online PAN number related with application number, and in 2 weeks PAN cards delivered at home.
Physical submissions are subject to "accurate filing" and if not filled properly, then incorrect pan cards are issued and the assessee has to run piller to post to rectify, which ends with filing of rectification with loads of documents submission with fees again.
