PAN, or Permanent Account Number, stands as a crucial requirement for the majority of Indian citizens and commercial entities, particularly those obligated to pay income tax and identified under the Income Tax Act of 1961. This distinctive 10-digit alphanumeric identification code serves as a comprehensive tracker for all monetary transactions and is issued by the Indian Income Tax Department under the vigilant oversight of the Central Board for Direct Taxes (CBDT).
Individuals, companies, entities incorporated in India, as well as unincorporated entities formed in India, are mandated to complete PAN card Form 49A to obtain a PAN card.

Once duly filled, the form is to be submitted alongside the requisite documents either to the authorized PAN agency in the district or online through the NSDL or UTI portal.
