how to track pan card application status

You can track your PAN card application status online, via SMS, or through a call center. You will need your 15-digit acknowledgement number or application coupon number, which you received upon submission. Online tracking is available on the official websites of the PAN service providers:

• Visit the NSDL (Protean) or UTIITSL website.
• Select the application type ('PAN-New/Change Request').
• Enter your acknowledgement/coupon number and submit.

Alternatively, you can check the status by sending an SMS in the format 'NSDLPAN <15-digit acknowledgment number>' to 57575.
