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.
