A Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a unique 10-character alphanumeric code issued by the Income Tax Department. It is required for tax filing, financial transactions, and as proof of identity. PAN is mandatory for opening a bank account, buying property, high-value transactions, and business registration. In addition to applying for a new PAN, you can also update or correct existing details like your name, date of birth, or photograph.
