What is a Permanent Account Number (PAN) in India?
A Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a 10-digit alphanumeric code, printed on an identification card, for the reference of the Income Tax Department. Companies are required to obtain a PAN during the establishment process in order to file an income tax return, to manage any correspondence with the Income Tax Department, and to submit challans for tax payment.
