PAN (Permanent Account Number) is a 10-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the Income Tax Department. It is mandatory for: filing ITR, opening bank accounts, buying or selling property above ₹10 lakh, fixed deposits above ₹50,000, GST registration, company incorporation, and most financial transactions above specified limits.
