But many people don’t know that if their PAN card isn’t linked to Aadhaar, or if the information provided in the two doesn’t match, the PAN can become inactive. It’s essential to have an active PAN when filing your Income Tax Return (ITR), otherwise you could face significant fines and trouble. Therefore, it’s important to check whether your PAN card is active in a timely manner.
To check PAN status online, you need to have two things:
Valid PAN number
Registered mobile number linked to that PAN (for OTP verification)
