how can i check my pan card status

You can check your PAN card status online using the portals of the two main service providers, Protean (formerly NSDL) or UTIITSL, depending on where you applied.

• On the Protean website, track the status using your 15-digit acknowledgement number. You can also use your name and date of birth if the acknowledgement number is misplaced.
• On the UTIITSL website, check the status using your application coupon number or existing PAN, along with your date of birth.
• For quick updates via SMS, send NSDLPAN followed by your 15-digit acknowledgement number to 57575.
• Additionally, you can verify your PAN's active status and Aadhaar linking on the Income Tax e-filing portal.
