how to check pan card online

You can check your PAN card status online primarily through the official websites of Protean (formerly NSDL) and UTIITSL, as well as the Income Tax e-filing portal.

• For applications made via Protean/NSDL, use your 15-digit acknowledgement number on their status track page.
• If applied through UTIITSL, track your status using the Application Coupon number or the PAN number on their portal.
• For instant e-PAN or to verify your PAN's active status, visit the Income Tax e-filing portal and use your Aadhaar number for a quick update.
