What is PAN Card? — Meaning, Definition & Example
Definition
PAN (Permanent Account Number) is a unique 10-character alphanumeric identifier issued by the Income Tax Department. It is mandatory for filing income tax returns, opening bank accounts, investing in mutual funds/stocks, and transactions above ₹50,000. Format: ABCDE1234F.
Without linking your PAN to Aadhaar by the deadline, your PAN becomes inoperative — meaning you can't file ITR, receive refunds, or do large financial transactions.
