You can check your PAN card's application status or verify its validity and details through official government channels.
To track a new PAN application status:
- Visit the NSDL (now Protean) or UTIITSL website and enter your 15-digit acknowledgement or coupon number.
To verify an allotted PAN:
- Use the 'Verify Your PAN' option on the Income Tax e-Filing portal.
- Enter the 10-digit PAN, your name, and date of birth, and then validate with an OTP sent to a mobile number to check if the PAN is active and the details match.
