What do you need to check your status?

To track your application, you must look at the receipt (slip) given to you after the fee payment. Ensure you choose the correct portal based on your receipt type:

For NSDL (Protean) Applications

You strictly need the 15-Digit Acknowledgement Number printed at the top of your NSDL receipt. (Example: 881234567890123).

For UTIITSL Applications

You need the 10-Digit Application Coupon Number (Example: U-123456789) OR your existing 10-character PAN Number (if you applied for a correction).

Step-by-Step Online Tracking Process

Identify Your Agency

Check your payment receipt carefully. It will clearly mention either NSDL (Protean eGov) or UTIITSL at the top header.

Open the Correct Portal

Scroll down to our 'Important Links' table and click on the 'Track Status' button corresponding to your specific agency (NSDL or UTIITSL).

Enter Receipt Details

For NSDL, select 'PAN - New/Change Request' and enter your 15-digit Acknowledgement Number. For UTI, enter your Coupon Number and Date of Birth.

Verify Captcha & Submit

Type the security code (Captcha) exactly as shown in the image and click 'Submit'. Your live application status will be displayed instantly.

Status Showing 'Discrepancy' or 'Under Processing' for Weeks?

Sometimes, tracking portals show messages like "Aadhaar Mismatch", "Name Discrepancy", or "Application kept on hold". This usually happens when the uploaded documents are blurry or the names in your form and Aadhaar do not match. If ignored, your application will eventually be canceled.

If your PAN status is stuck and you belong to Mainpuri or surrounding areas, do not panic. Visit our Avi Jan Seva Kendra (Avi CSC Point) with your receipt. Our expert VLE operators will check the exact error code, assist in uploading the clarification documents (Discrepancy Letter), and ensure your PAN card is dispatched without further delay.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

My status says 'Dispatched'. How do I track the delivery?

Once your physical card is printed, the status will show "Dispatched via Speed Post" along with an Airway Bill (AWB) number (e.g., EA123456789IN). You can copy this number and track it on the official India Post website.

What does 'Under Processing at ITD' mean?

This means your application has passed initial checks by NSDL/UTI and is currently being verified by the Income Tax Department (ITD) servers. You just need to wait a few more days for approval.

Can I check my PAN status by Name and Date of Birth?

Currently, the official portals do not allow tracking purely by Name and DOB due to security reasons. You must have either the Acknowledgement Number (NSDL) or Coupon Number (UTI).

I lost my Acknowledgement Receipt. What should I do?

If you applied online by yourself, check your registered email ID for a confirmation mail from NSDL/UTI. If you applied via a CSC or Cyber Cafe, the operator can log into their agent portal and retrieve your Acknowledgement Number.

The status shows 'Aadhaar Authentication Failed'. Why?

This error is triggered when the Name, Date of Birth, or Gender filled in the PAN form does not match exactly point-by-point with the UIDAI (Aadhaar) database. You will need to rectify this mismatch.

Strict Fake App & Fraud Alert

SECURITY WARNING: Do not download unauthorized third-party mobile apps to track your PAN Card status. Many fake apps collect your sensitive Aadhaar and DOB data. Tracking is a 100% FREE service provided by the Income Tax Department. Never pay any agent or website claiming to "expedite or fast-track" your pending PAN application.
