how to know my pan card status

You can easily check your PAN card application status through multiple official channels. The most common methods are:

• **Online Tracking:** Visit the official Protean (formerly NSDL) or UTIITSL website and use your 15-digit acknowledgement number or application coupon number.
• **SMS Service:** Send 'NSDLPAN <15-digit acknowledgement number>' to 57575 for a quick status update.
• **Call Center:** You can also call the Tax Information Network call center at 020-27218080 and provide your acknowledgement number.
