how to get pan card number if lost

You can easily retrieve your PAN card number even if you have lost the physical card. The most common and direct methods are through official online channels:

• Use the Income Tax e-filing portal's 'Know Your PAN' service, providing your personal details for OTP verification to display the number.
• If your Aadhaar is linked to your PAN, you can often use the 'Instant PAN through Aadhaar' tool on the Income Tax portal for quick recovery.
• Alternatively, check your bank statements or other financial/KYC documents where your PAN may be listed.
• For offline assistance, you can contact a PAN Service Centre or visit the nearest Income Tax office.
