How Will I Know the Status of My Pan Application?

You will be given a 15-digit acknowledgement number or a tracking ID after you complete your PAN card application, known as a tracking number. Using these numbers, you can easily follow the status of your PAN card application. You can learn about the progress of your application, such as the shipment date, expected delivery date, dispatch date, etc., from the Income Tax Department.

You can typically track your PAN card application status 3 to 7 days after it has been submitted. For tracking the application status, you can visit the official website of the Income Tax Department of India and enter your details such as your application number, application type, and a captcha.
