Share on FacebookShare on WhatsAppShare on Telegram

A Permanent Account Number (PAN), issued by the Indian Income Tax Department, is an electronic system in which all the tax-related information of a person or company is recorded against a single PAN number, in the form of a laminated “PAN Card”. In this article, we will discuss the uses and benefits of PAN.

PAN card is issued under the supervision of the Central Board for Direct Taxes (CBDT). It also serves as an important proof of identification. It is, also issued to foreign nationals (such as investors) subject to a valid visa. So, it is not acceptable as proof of Indian citizenship. The PAN is mandatory for a majority of financial transactions such as opening a bank account, receiving a taxable salary or professional fees, sale or purchase of assets above specified limits, etc.; especially high-value transactions.

Structure of PAN Card

  • The number encrypted on PAN  is a ten-character long alpha-numeric unique identifier.
  • The first five characters are letters (in uppercase by default), followed by four numerals, and the last (tenth) character is a letter.

  • The first three characters are normal alphabetic series starting from AAA to ZZZ. Department of I.T allocates the digits randomly which is a combination of the letters like AXT or XRT.
  • The fourth character represents the status of the PAN cardholder. For a majority of PAN holders fourth letter is the letter “P”, which stands for “person”. Other letters are C, H, F, A, T, B, L, J, and G.

C – Company   H – Hindu Undivided Family   F – Firm    A – Association of Persons

T – Trust   B – Body of Individuals    L – Local Authority   J – Artificial Juridical Person

G – Government
