How to check issue date of pan card

The most reliable way to find the PAN card issue date is by checking the physical card itself. The 'Date of Issue' or 'DOI' is clearly printed on the front of the Permanent Account Number card. It is typically located near your photograph and signature, often displayed vertically on the lower right half of the card as an eight-digit number (e.g., 03072017). Most online verification services provided by the Income Tax Department usually confirm the PAN's validity and status but do not display the original date of issue.
