how to check pan card active or not

You can check if your Permanent Account Number (PAN) card is active or operative directly on the Income Tax e-filing portal.

• Visit the official Income Tax e-filing website.
• Navigate to the "Verify Your PAN" or "Verify PAN Status" link under the "Quick Links" section.
• Enter your PAN number, full name, date of birth, and a valid mobile number.
• An OTP will be sent to your mobile number for validation.
• After validation, the system will display the current status of your PAN card.

Regularly checking the status is essential for smooth financial operations, especially since an inactive PAN card cannot be used for various transactions.
