The Income Tax Department has enabled a new feature that allows taxpayers to track the status of their PAN (Permanent Account Number) directly through their e-Filing dashboard. This update is part of the government’s commitment to improve taxpayer convenience by providing a centralized, self-service platform for managing PAN-related activities, including application tracking, status verification, and compliance alerts.

Through the e-Filing portal, registered users can now log into their accounts and access the “My Profile” or “PAN Services” section to view detailed information about their PAN. This includes its activation status, Aadhaar linkage confirmation, name, and date of birth as per PAN records, and any alerts regarding discrepancies or pending actions. Taxpayers can also check the real-time progress of new PAN applications or correction requests submitted via the portal or authorized service centers.

This functionality reduces the need for external follow-ups or third-party support, offering a transparent and accessible way to stay updated on one’s tax identity. The department encourages all users to routinely verify their PAN status, especially before filing returns, claiming refunds, or applying for loans, to avoid rejections or compliance issues. The feature reinforces India’s push toward a digitally empowered, taxpayer-centric administration where key tax services are available at users’ fingertips.
