PAN Card Correction Status Meaning (Common Status Messages)
When you check your PAN correction status, you may see different messages. Here are the most common ones and what they actually mean:
1) Application Received
Your request has been successfully submitted and is in the processing queue.
2) Under Verification
Your documents are being verified. This step may take a few working days.
3) Pending for Document Verification
This means the portal needs additional checks, or there may be a mismatch in uploaded documents.

4) Approved / Processed
Your correction request is approved and your updated PAN is being generated.
5) Dispatched / Delivered (Physical Card)
If you requested a physical PAN card, the portal may show dispatch and delivery status.
6) Rejected
Your request has been rejected due to document mismatch, unclear scan, incorrect details, or signature issues.
If this happens, you may need to reapply with correct details.
How Long Does PAN Card Correction Take?
The processing time depends on the correction type and verification load.
In most cases:
