PAN Registration

A Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a unique 10-digit alphanumeric code India’s Income Tax Department issued to identify taxpayers. This number is a central database for an individual or entity’s financial and tax-related transactions.

The PAN ensures that all tax activities, such as tax payments, TDS (Tax Deducted at Source), TCS (Tax Collected at Source), and income tax returns, are linked to a specific taxpayer, helping the government monitor financial activities.

The PAN card is the physical representation of your Permanent Account Number. It includes:

  • PAN number
  • Your name
  • Date of birth
  • A photograph
