use LEN instead of ISBLANK for encrypted text.
  
IF(LEN(Password__c)==0,0,1)

use this
  
AND(ISPICKVAL( City__c ,'Hyderabad'),
IF(LEN(PANCARD__c )==0,0,1)
IF(LEN(Phone_No__c)==0,0,1)
IF(LEN(Email__c )==0,0,1)


 )

Thank you so much. This Len function worked but I didn't use as you said. I used the following formula
AND(ISPICKVAL( City__c ,'Hyderabad'),
LEN( PANCARD__c )==0,
ISBLANK( Phone_No__c),
ISBLANK( Email__c )
 )
but as I am a complete beginner in sales force it will be great if any of you can tell me why you used that additional (0,1),
I want to know how it is used.
