A Permanent Account Number, or PAN, is a national taxpayer’s means of identification. Indians are assigned Pan Cards, which are 10-digit unique identity alphanumeric numbers made up of both letters and numbers, mostly to individuals who pay taxes. It is a computer-based system that provides each tax-paying firm in India with a unique identification number.
This approach records all of an individual’s tax-related data against a single PAN number, which serves as the main key for data storage.
Ten digits make up the PAN, or Personal Area Number. The Income Tax Department issues a PAN Card to the entity after assigning a PAN. Although your PAN is a number, your PAN Card is a real card that also contains your name, father’s or spouse’s name, date of birth, and a picture. Copies of this card may be presented as identification or birth certificate documentation.
Individuals who receive PAN cards have their picture, name, father’s name, date of birth, signature, authenticity hologram, QR Code, PAN issue date, and Permanent Account Number printed on them. The firm name, registration date, PAN number, hologram, QR Code, and PAN issue date are all printed on PAN cards that are given to businesses. There won’t be a signature or picture on it.
You must submit several documents, such as Form 49A or 49AA, to apply for a PAN card. The list of documents you need to apply for a PAN card is provided below:
If you are a single applicant
If you are a member of an Undivided Hindu Family (HUF)
