how to find area code for pan card

The Area Code is the first part of your PAN card's Assessing Officer (AO) Code. You can find your complete AO Code, including the Area Code, through the following official government portals:

• Visit the Income Tax e-Filing website and use the "Know Your AO" service under Quick Links. You will need to enter your PAN and a valid mobile number, and then validate with an OTP to view the details.
• Alternatively, you can visit the NSDL website's PAN Portal and search for your AO Code by selecting your city. The displayed results will include the Area Code, AO Type, Range Code, and AO Number for your jurisdiction.
