    Overview

    Permanent Account Number or PAN is a means of identifying different taxpayers within the country. PAN is a special alphanumeric 10-digit identification number (which includes both alphabets and numbers) assigned to Indians, mainly those who pay tax.

    The PAN identification system is a computer-based system which assigns a unique identification number to every tax paying entity in India. Through this process, all of a person’s tax-related information is registered against a single PAN number which acts as the primary key for information storage. This is shared around the world and therefore no two individuals can have the same PAN on tax paying entities.

    When PAN is allotted to an entity, the Income Tax Department gives PAN Card as well. Although PAN is a number, PAN Card is a physical card with your PAN as well as your name, birth date (Date of birth) and photo. Copies of this card can be submitted as identification evidence or as D.O.B evidence.

    Your PAN Card is valid for life as it is uninfluenced by any change of address.

    Importance Of PAN

    A PAN Card is important for taxpayers, as it is required for all financial transactions and is used to monitor your money’s inflow and outflow. It is critical when it comes to paying income tax, receiving tax refunds and receiving income tax department communication. The 2019 Indian Budget proposed that individuals who do not have a PAN may use their Aadhaar number to file returns and for any other use for which PAN was currently mandatory. This means that if you haven’t yet connected your PAN to Aadhaar, or have no PAN but an Aadhaar, you don’t have to either connect PAN and Aadhaar, or apply for a new PAN.

    However , the rules about this are still in the process of creation / updation/approval.This being said, a large number of monetary transactions continue to involve PAN. Even, PAN Card serves as proof of identity.

    Uses Of PAN

    • Since PAN Card contains details such as name, age and photograph, it can be used as valid proof of identity across the world.
    • PAN is the perfect way to keep an eye on your tax payment. Otherwise, you might be required to pay it multiple times since your tax payment cannot be verified.
    • Since PAN is unique to each person, its misuse is virtually impossible for tax evasion or other devious means.
    • Utility connections such as electricity, telephone, LPG, and internet can be used with PAN Card.

    Eligibility Of PAN Card

    The following taxpaying entities are allowed under section 139A of the Income Tax Act to have a Permanent Account Number:

    • Any individual who is liable to pay tax or has paid tax to the Income Tax Department. That will be calculated on the basis of the tax slabs.

    What if you do not have a PAN card

    If your income falls within the taxable bracket, failure to have a PAN card will result in:

The PAN issuance process operates on the PPP (Public Private Partnership) model. This is done to keep the management, production, and issuance of PAN applications economical, secure, and reliable.
