PAN Acknowledgement receipt is a document issued by authorities when a person or entity applies for a PAN (Permanent Account Number) card. It serves as a proof that the application has been successfully filed, and the PAN card will be issued shortly.
The Acknowledgement receipt consists of the following:
• The Acknowledgement Number
• The date on which the application was accepted
• The date on which the PAN card was issued
• A copy of the receipt of payment of PAN card fees
It is important to keep the PAN Acknowledgement receipt and the PAN card in a safe place, since they will be required for filing various tax returns or for providing the PAN details to any individual. In case the PAN card is misplaced, the PAN Acknowledgement receipt can be used for authentication purposes.
It is possible to check the status of your PAN card application, by visiting the official website of the Income Tax Department of India. Here, you can enter the Acknowledgement Number as displayed in the receipt and view the status, whether it's been issued or not.
