You can track your PAN card application status without an acknowledgement number by using your name and date of birth on the official Protean (formerly NSDL) portal. Follow these steps:
- Visit the official Protean PAN status tracking page.
- Select PAN – New/Change Request as the Application Type.
- Choose the Name option instead of the acknowledgement number.
- Enter your Last Name, First Name, Middle Name, and Date of Birth as recorded in your application.
- Click Submit to view the status.
Alternatively, you can track the status using your Aadhaar number on the Income Tax e-filing website.
