Frequently asked questions
Does this verify if the PAN is actually registered?
No — it only checks that the format matches the correct pattern, not whether it's a real, active PAN in the Income Tax Department's records.
What format is a valid PAN?
Five letters, followed by four digits, followed by one letter — for example ABCDE1234F.
What does the 4th letter of a PAN indicate?
It denotes the holder type — "P" for individual, "C" for company, "H" for HUF, and other letters for other entity types.
Where can I actually verify a PAN's validity?
Use the Income Tax Department's official e-filing portal, which has a dedicated PAN verification service.
