I had lot of problems running around to make my PAN card and during that time I got to know a lot of information about PAN Card, so I would like to share that information to all.
What Is PAN Card?
Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a ten digit alphanumeric number that represents your Income Tax (IT) identity.
This is issued in the form of a laminated card by the Income Tax Department of India, having the following details:
- Your full name
- Your father’s full name
- Your Date of Birth (DOB)
- The PAN number
- Your authorized signature
- Your personal photo,
- Government of India Hologram Seal
(All the above information is subject to information mentioned in the PAN card application form.)
For example a typical PAN card number would be: HGPG7BV765
(Note: this is not a live/current pan card number of any individual.)
Why Is It Mandatory To Own a PAN Card?
First of all “YES” it is mandatory/compulsory to own PAN Card for filing income tax returns.
- It is mandatory as per the rules and regulations of the Income Tax Department (IT) of India.
- It helps the Income Tax Department to keep track of your assets and liabilities.
- It also calculates the income tax payable by you (in the financial year) as per the assets and liabilities information.
The good thing is that, if you’re not payable for income tax (in the financial year) and you have gone overboard with your expenses/liabilities,
Then the Income Tax Department (IT) of India will provide rebate i.e. give back a lum-sum money for that financial year.
Benefits of having a PAN Card?
- Quick approval of personal/house/car loans
- Fast approval of visa’s
- Governmental Benefits
- Sometimes, even high paid jobs
