The PAN card is a unique identity proof, which the Income Tax Department of India issues under the supervision of the Central Board of Direct Taxes or CBDT. The PAN card is required for several purposes other than just identity proof. The PAN card is now necessary for making back accounts for sales and purchases of bulk goods and items, which exceed the prescribed limit, and also it’s required for various monetary transactions like collection of professional fees or taxable salary income.
