how to track my pan card status

You can track your PAN card status primarily through the websites of the issuing agencies, Protean (formerly NSDL) or UTIITSL, using your acknowledgement or coupon number.

• Visit the Protean or UTIITSL official status tracking portal.
• Select the application type (PAN - New/Change Request).
• Enter your acknowledgement number or coupon number and the captcha code.

Alternatively, you can send an SMS with the format 'NSDLPAN <15-digit acknowledgment number>' to 57575 or call the TIN Call Centre at 020-27218080. If your card has been dispatched, you can also track the physical delivery using the consignment number on the India Post website.
