how to check my pan card is active or not

You can check if your Permanent Account Number (PAN) is active by visiting the official Income Tax e-filing portal. Navigate to the 'Verify Your PAN' service, which is usually found in the 'Quick Links' section. You will need to enter your PAN, full name, date of birth, and a valid mobile number for OTP verification. Upon successful validation of the OTP, the system will display the current status of your PAN card. This online verification is essential for all financial and tax-related transactions.
