Simple to Understand PAN Card
For the purpose of uniquely identifying taxpayers, the Indian Income Tax Department issues PAN cards. Every taxpayer has access to this 10-digit alphanumeric code. The Permanent Account Number card makes it simple for taxpayers to conduct a variety of financial transactions while also assisting the Income Tax Department in tracking and verifying that taxes are paid properly.
The Indian Income Tax Department has launched the PAN card for taxpayers. The new taxpayer is automatically allocated a PAN when they file their first income tax return.
Due to an increase in PAN applications, this change was made. It is important to remember that someone who already has a PAN will not be eligible to receive one. Taxpayers are currently only issued an e-PAN if they are individuals. Only for a limited period of time is this service free of charge. A first-come, first-served basis will be followed for the issuance of a PAN.
