Frequently Asked Questions About Verify PAN Status

Statutory guidance, portal troubleshooting, and official legal rules compiled by corporate professionals.

Portal Navigation & Filing Rules

What does 'PAN is Active and in-operative' mean?+

It means the PAN exists in the CBDT database, but has been marked inoperative because it was not linked to Aadhaar by the statutory deadline. It cannot be used for high-value banking or property purchases without attracting 20% TDS.

Can I verify a Company or LLP PAN using this portal?+

Yes! Enter the 10-digit Company PAN, the exact legal name registered with MCA, and the Date of Incorporation printed on the Certificate of Incorporation.

Why does the portal display 'No record found for the given PAN'?+

This occurs if: (1) The PAN number was mistyped, (2) The PAN has not yet been migrated to the central e-filing system, or (3) The PAN has been deactivated or cancelled by the Assessing Officer.

Statutory Compliance & Scrutiny Relief

Is there any statutory fee to verify PAN card status?+

No. The Income Tax Department provides pre-login PAN verification completely free of cost on its official e-filing portal.

How can employers verify PANs in bulk for TDS compliance?+

Entities registered as deductors with TAN can access the TRACES (TDS Reconciliation Analysis and Correction Enabling System) portal to perform bulk PAN verification for Form 24Q, 26Q, and 27Q filings.

What is the 4th character in a PAN number?+

The 4th character represents the legal status of the PAN holder: P for Individual, C for Company, H for HUF, F for Partnership Firm, A for Association of Persons (AOP), T for Trust, and B for Body of Individuals (BOI).
