Search PAN Card Details By Name, DOB, PAN Number and Address

Every Indian citizen is required to possess a particular set of documents that are used in daily life activities as well as proof of personal identification. The PAN card is a crucial component of these documents. 

PAN (Permanent Account Number) is a 10-digit identifier that combines letters and numbers that is specific to every Indian resident and can be used as identification.

PAN cards are issued by the Tax Authority of India, and a person must have one in order to undertake any kind of financial transaction. 

PAN CARD HISTORY:

The General Index Register, or GIR, system of identifying, which was previously in use, was replaced with the PAN card concept in 1972 when the Government of India introduced it. 

Under Section 132A of the ITA, the PAN received statutory status on April 1st, 1976. When the earlier PAN format was utilised in the past, it led to a number of mistakes, including the absence of secure databases, a lack of central PAN authorization, and the omission of the PAN requirements for taxes.

The false mistakes led to the creation of the PAN version that is in use today. The PAN was created to be distributed to the nation’s residents, and the PAN card application process was initially launched in the cities of Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai. 

ONLINE PAN APPLICATION PROCEDURE:

APPLICATIONS OF USING A PAN CARD:

PAN cards were initially only supplied to keep track of a person’s financial transactions for the purposes of levying taxes.

However, as time has gone on, PAN use has significantly increased. The following is a list of several significant applications for PAN Cards:

• Identification proof — The PAN Card can be used as identification for various documentation processes, such as load applications, passport issuance, Voter ID Card issuance, as well as for household amenities like house water supply, connection for gas, and electricity bills, among other things. The PAN Card includes certain details, such as the citizen’s name, date of birth, residential address, and photograph.
• For employee’s use — The Income Tax Department now requires every employee to submit their PAN Card along with accurate information when applying for any position since the employer will use the PAN Card to apply TDS when completing Form 16. When completing their income tax returns, the employee must also include their PAN details.  
• Use for banking services — When creating a bank account in someone’s name, the bank needs that person’s PAN information. This is done to lessen the likelihood of large-scale money-swindling fraudulent transactions. PAN aids in recording each transaction that an individual makes.
• Necessary for payments — PAN Cards are a prerequisite for deposits and must be presented when opening a fixed deposit account at a bank or depositing cash at a post office. 
• Exchange of any foreign currency — When travelling outside of India, the use of several currencies can cause problems for the traveller. A passport, visa, airline tickets, and PAN Card are among the documents that can be used to convert money for Indian rupees.
• Use in the stock market — PAN is required on the stock market when trading shares and giving the broker your information.
• Helpful for mutual funds — Before investing in a mutual fund, bonds, or another type of investment, the applicant is required to present his or her PAN information.
• Use in real estate transactions — When registering real estate, whether for sole or shared ownership, PAN information is also important.
• Useful for debit or credit card application — A PAN Card’s details are a must while applying for a debit or credit card. 
• Utilisation in e-wallets — In the era of the digital revolution, UPI payments and e-wallets have allowed for quick cash transactions. PAN Card information is a prerequisite for signing up for any online banking service. 
• Necessary for purchasing a motor vehicle — When completing the procedures for registering a new motor vehicle, PAN Card information is required for motor vehicle purchases.
• When paying a premium for any sort of insurance, a PAN Card is also necessary.
