PAN Card Tracking Number Not Found? Here Is the Fix (2026 Guide)

If you applied for a PAN card and your Speed Post tracking number shows “Not Found” or “No Records Found”, don’t worry. This is a common issue and usually resolves automatically within a few hours. This guide explains the reasons behind the problem and the exact steps to fix it.

📌 Why PAN Tracking Number Shows “Not Found”

1. Tracking Data Not Uploaded Yet

NSDL or UTIITSL may have dispatched your PAN card, but India Post has not yet uploaded tracking data.

2. PAN Card Printed but Not Dispatched

Your PAN card may be printed but still waiting to be handed over to India Post.

3. Incorrect Tracking Number Format

The correct Speed Post format is EXXXXXXXXXIN.

4. NSDL / UTI Portal Update Delay

The tracking number may be generated but not immediately visible on the portal.

5. India Post Scanning Delay

If the parcel has not received its first scan at the sorting center, tracking will not activate.

6. High Dispatch Load

During tax season (February–April), holidays, or festivals, tracking activation may be delayed.
