The e-filing portal shows your PAN directly in your profile once you're logged in. No login? Use the Verify Your PAN facility with just your name, date of birth, and a mobile OTP. If your Aadhaar is linked to your PAN, Instant e-PAN on the same portal works too. NSDL Protean and UTIITSL are separate services, useful only if your original PAN application was filed through one of them.
Lost your PAN card, or just forgotten the number? This guide is for you. It sticks to official routes only, nothing third party. PAN comes up constantly in filing returns, opening accounts, and taking loans, so getting it wrong wastes time you don't have. All of this can be done from your phone at home. LoansJagat, like most lenders, will flag a loan application the moment PAN details don't match Aadhaar records.
PAN stands for Permanent Account Number. It is an alphanumeric series of 10 characters provided by the Income Tax Department to all taxpayers.
As per the Income Tax Department, it serves a number of purposes, including return filing, property transactions, and bank transactions beyond certain limits. Your PAN is permanent and remains the same despite any changes in your name and address.
How to Check My PAN Number on e-filing?
If you are registered, then you would have known by now that your PAN is stored in your profile right from the first day.
This only works if you signed up on the portal using your PAN to begin with.
No. The department scrapped the old name-search tool a while back and swapped it for verification instead.
Here's the actual process with Verify Your PAN:
Remember that this process only validates an existing PAN card. If you have genuinely forgotten the number itself, then this process won't help you in any case.
If the link between PAN & Aadhaar has been established earlier, then the Instant e-PAN is the quickest option in this case.
Did you know that your PDF comes with a password? Yes, your DOB in DDMMYYYY format will unlock it.
If your initial PAN application was done through either of these websites, then they too can be used to fetch your PAN details.
NSDL Protean:
UTIITSL:
In UTIITSL, click on "Download e-PAN.” You need to enter PAN, Date of Birth, Captcha, and verify via OTP.
It comes down to what you already have on hand and how much time you can spare.
*T&C Apply
Have these ready on your screen or in your head:
Most likely, it’s due to a mistake in typing. The other one may be your inactive PAN due to unlinked Aadhaar.
If the portal flags your PAN as inoperative, head to the Link Aadhaar page and sort it out. Leave it unlinked, and you risk stalled loan approvals, blocked tax refunds, and stuck mutual fund purchases.
Linking PAN to Aadhaar after the due date incurs a fine of ₹1,000 that needs to be paid prior to linking. You'll see this figure in the payment challan on the Link Aadhaar page before your request even goes through.
Your quickest bet is the e-Filing portal, free and dead simple once you're logged in. Aadhaar already linked? Instant e-PAN gets you a downloadable copy within minutes. And before you apply for a loan or begin comparing loan offers from LoansJagat, make sure that your PAN is valid and linked to your Aadhaar card.
Not by itself. Name-only search doesn't exist anymore. You'll also need a date of birth and a mobile OTP.
Yes, both e-Filing portal verification and Instant e-PAN through Aadhaar don't cost a rupee.
Under 10 minutes in most cases, according to the Income Tax Department.
Not currently. That facility just doesn't exist on the official side yet.
No. The e-Filing website is your only official source.
As many times as you want. There's no cap on the e-Filing portal.
Link it with Aadhaar and clear the applicable fee to bring it back to life.
Yes. It carries the same legal weight as your physical PAN card everywhere.
Type your date of birth as DDMMYYYY, no slashes, no spaces.
Yes. Verify Your PAN tool only needs your name, DOB, and mobile OTP.
