The Tax Information Network (TIN) supports PAN-related services through authorised service providers such as Protean eGov Technologies, formerly NSDL. You can use these services to submit new PAN applications, request corrections and track application progress.

The TIN PAN card status service helps you monitor an application after submission. Protean provides online tracking facilities using the acknowledgement details issued with the application. This replaces the older understanding that NSDL itself directly issued PAN cards. PAN issuance remains under the Income Tax Department, while authorised service providers support application processing and related services.


How to check your TIN NSDL PAN card status online?

You can check your TIN NSDL PAN card status through the Protean eGov Technologies portal using your 15-digit acknowledgement number.

  1. Open the tracking page: Visit the Protean (NSDL) TIN website and open Track your PAN/TAN Application Status.
  2. Select application type: Choose PAN – New/Change Request from the Application Type dropdown.
  3. Enter your details: Enter your 15-digit acknowledgement number to check your PAN card status by acknowledgement number.
  4. Complete the captcha: Enter the captcha code displayed on the page.
  5. Submit the request: Click Submit to view your current application status.

Status tracking is generally available 3 days after submission, while an approved physical PAN card may arrive within around 15 working days.


What is PAN search by TIN and how does it work?

PAN search by TIN lets businesses and government agencies verify PAN details associated with a TIN number. The service can help organisations check PAN information for vendors, employees or other counterparties when required for compliance.

  1. Visit the official portal: Open the authorised Protean TIN portal.
  2. Open PAN verification: Navigate to the PAN verification or Know Your PAN service.
  3. Enter the details: Provide the relevant TIN number or PAN details and submit the request.

Use the service through the official Protean channel rather than the outdated IP-address link previously associated with this section.


How to check PAN card status without an acknowledgement number?

Yes, you can check PAN card status without an acknowledgement number through the Protean portal by searching with your name and date of birth.

  1. Open the tracking page: Visit the Track your PAN/TAN Application Status page on the TIN NSDL Protean website.
  2. Select application type: Choose PAN – New/Change Request.
  3. Choose the search option: Select Name instead of the acknowledgement number option.
  4. Enter your details: Provide your last name, first name, middle name and date of birth.
  5. Submit the request: Click Submit to view your current PAN application status.

This method is applicable to applications processed through the Protean portal. You can also refer to your PAN acknowledgement number when available.
