How to Check PAN Status

How to Check PAN Status 

The PAN or Permanent Account Number is a ten digit alphanumeric number that is issued in the form of a laminated card by the Income Tax department. This measure was taken in order to allow the authorities to monitor the financial dealings taking place in the country and for the enforcement of Income Tax laws that prevent unfair or illegal procedures. In the current scenario, the PAN is a compulsory item that every adult must own as it allows one to file for income tax returns and any other activity pertaining to financial exchanges.
Search By Acknowledgement Number
Pan card status can be checked by either entering 15 digit valid acknowledgement number or by entering full name with date of birth details in the search option.
Search By Name and DOB (Date of birth)
To check the position using name, applicants who are apart from ‘individuals’ like Association of Persons, Trust Deed/Formation of Body of Individuals, Incorporation or Agreement/Partnership should mention their name Surname(Last Name) field only.
Once the application is submitted online, you check online only after 3 days. This is because NSDL takes some time to process your application.
