Extract PAN Number from Form 16 PDF
Overview
Form 16 from your employer contains your PAN, the employer's TAN, gross salary, TDS deducted, and exemptions claimed. When pre-filling ITR-1 or ITR-4, you read the PAN once and rely on it everywhere downstream. PDF Mavericks extracts the text locally so you can copy fields without typing.
How to Use This Tool
Drop your Form 16 PDF onto the extract-text tool. The page returns selectable plaintext within seconds. Search for 'PAN' to find the alphanumeric field, copy, paste into your ITR draft.

PDF Tool →Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract data from a password-protected Form 16?
Yes — first unlock it via /unlock-pdf using your DOB (DDMMYYYY) as the password, then run the text extract.
Does the tool handle Form 16 Part A and Part B together?
Yes. If your employer sends two separate PDFs, merge them via /merge first, then extract — the resulting plaintext is one continuous file.
Will my Form 16 be stored anywhere?
No. The PDF is parsed in the browser and discarded when you close the tab. Nothing leaves your device.
