To check your PAN card's active status, you can use the official Income Tax Department's e-Filing portal. A Permanent Account Number is generally valid for the lifetime of the holder and does not expire, but its active status is necessary for financial transactions.
Steps to verify your PAN:
- Go to the Income Tax Department's e-Filing portal.
- Select the 'Verify Your PAN' service.
- Enter your PAN, full name, date of birth, and an accessible mobile number.
- Validate with the OTP received to confirm the PAN is active and its details are correct.
