Here's a step-by-step guide on how to check if one's PAN card is active or deactivated online. A permanent account number or PAN card is a crucial document for every person who earns income or conducts any kind of financial transaction in India. It is required for opening a bank account, filing an income tax return, or buying real estate.
However, most people don’t know that if their PAN card isn’t linked to Aadhaar or if the information doesn’t match, it can become inactive/inoperative.
Verifying that your PAN is activated for financial activities is crucial as the ITR filing process gets underway to prevent major fines and repercussions on the Income Tax e-filing system.
People can verify their PAN status online; however, to check the status of your PAN card, its prerequisites for individuals are to have a valid PAN number and the registered mobile number linked to the PAN for OTP verification.
Verifying PAN is now a simple and straightforward process which can be done online. (Screenshot)
