a "PAN CARD"
(PAN)refers
to a ten-digit alphanumeric number, issued in the form of
a laminated card, by the Income Tax Department in India. It
is a must to have a PAN number for all those who file their
income tax returns, because from 2005 onwards, it has been
made mandatory by the Income Tax Department to quote the PAN
on return of income as well as on all correspondence with
any income tax authority in the country.
The
permanent account number is a vital part of any
financial transaction today. Non-quoting or wrong
quoting of PAN is an offence. When, where and
