How to know pan card is valid or not

You can verify the validity and active status of your Permanent Account Number (PAN) using the 'Verify Your PAN' feature on the Income Tax Department's official e-filing portal, www.incometax.gov.in. This pre-login service allows you to confirm if your PAN is genuine, active, and if the registered name and date of birth match the department's records. You will be required to enter your PAN, full name, date of birth, and a mobile number to receive an OTP for successful validation. The portal will then display the status of your PAN.
