PAN Card Blocked
In today’s digital age, the PAN card (Permanent Account Number) is one of the most critical identity documents for financial and government-related activities in India—on par with the Aadhaar card. Whether it’s filing income tax, opening a bank account, investing, or applying for government schemes, a valid PAN card is a must. But what if your PAN card is blocked or inactive?

The good news is, you can now verify the status of your PAN card in just 2 minutes, right from your mobile phone, without visiting any government office.

Why Verifying Your PAN Card Status Matters

If your PAN card is inactive or blocked, you could face serious hurdles:

  • You may miss out on government scheme benefits

  • Your bank transactions could be disrupted

  • Tax-related services such as ITR filing or TDS refunds may be delayed

  • You may face issues in KYC compliance, affecting your savings and investments

That’s why it’s essential to check whether your PAN is active—and the process is easier than ever.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check PAN Card Status from Mobile

Follow these simple steps to check your PAN card status:

  1. Visit the Official Income Tax Portal
    On your smartphone, go to www.incometax.gov.in or search for “Income Tax e-Filing” on Google.

  2. Click on “Verify Your PAN” Under Quick Links
    On the homepage, scroll down to the Quick Links section. Tap on the “Verify Your PAN” option.

  3. Enter Required Details
    On the next page, fill in the following information:

    • PAN number

    • Full Name (as per PAN)

    • Date of Birth

    • Registered Mobile Number

  4. Click “Continue”
    Once the details are entered, press the “Continue” button.

  5. OTP Verification
    You will receive an OTP (One-Time Password) on your linked mobile number. Enter the OTP and click “Validate”.

  6. View Your PAN Status
    If your PAN is active, a confirmation message will appear:

    • “PAN is Active and Details are as per PAN”

This message confirms that your PAN card is valid and matches the records of the Income Tax Department.

Understanding the Structure of Your PAN Number

Your PAN number isn’t just a random string—it contains vital identity information:

  • First 3 letters: Alphabetic sequence (AAA to ZZZ) assigned by the IT Department

  • Fourth letter: Type of cardholder

    • P = Person

    • C = Company

    • F = Firm

    • T = Trust

    • H = Hindu Undivided Family (HUF)

  • Fifth letter: First letter of your surname (For individuals)

  • Next 4 digits: Numeric serial number (0001 to 9999)

  • Last letter: Alphabetic check digit used to verify validity

What to Do If Your PAN Is Blocked

If the message does not confirm that your PAN is active, your card may be blocked, deactivated, or delinked. In such cases:

  • Contact your local PAN center or file a grievance through the e-Filing portal

  • Visit the NSDL or UTIITSL website to raise a request for reactivation

  • Ensure Aadhaar-PAN linking is done, as non-linkage can lead to deactivation

Final Word

With government schemes, banking, and taxation going fully digital, your PAN card plays a central role in your financial identity. Take two minutes today to verify its status—and stay ahead of any disruptions that could affect your personal or professional life.
