Every individual and non-individual has a unique 10-digit alphanumeric code known as their Permanent Account Number (PAN). This identity card has been nationalized. Any financial transaction or activity, including paying taxes and submitting an ITR, requires this ID card. You must pay certain fees and levies to apply for or make any changes to an existing PAN card.
