PAN
The PAN card (Permanent Account Number), is widely utilized for a variety of purposes, including tax filing. It is a vital document that is required for transactions, like:
- 1. Open a Bank Account
- 2. Purchasing a vehicle
- 3. Starting a new job
e-PAN
Carrying a physical copy of your PAN card, is a little more challenging. In this circumstance, downloading an ePAN card is the most viable choice.
The online PAN card is actually a virtual PAN card that may be used for verification in the same way as a physical PAN card. It can be kept on your phone too.
If you lose your PAN card, you may apply for a new one online, and the process would only take you 10 minutes. The only condition for completing your e-KYC process is that you have your Aadhaar card.
