ⓘ About this tool 🔄 Last updated 1 Sep 2026 ✓ Reviewed by TopToolAI Team

Check whether an Indian PAN card number follows the correct format (5 letters, 4 digits, 1 letter) before submitting it on a form. A number like ABCDE1234F matches the correct format, while digits and letters in the wrong order get flagged before they cause a rejected form submission.

India PAN Card Format Checker FAQs

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.
