Verify your PAN

Your PAN (Permanent Account Number) number is collected during the account creation. For businesses, Business PAN is ordered.

To successfully verify the PAN, it needs to meet the following requirements

  • The name on the PayPal account should match the name on the PAN card
  • PAN needs to be in good standing and valid
  • For Individual PANs only – the PAN needs to be linked to Aadhaar


As per the regulations, if your PAN is not linked to your Aadhaar, the PAN will be considered inoperative and cannot be verified. You can connect your PAN to your Aadhaar by visiting the income tax website and following the instructions listed there
