PAN is an acronym for Permanent Account Number. It is a 10-digit long number with the first 5 characters being letters, the next four characters being numbers, and the last character also being a letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PAN card is issued by the Income Tax Department under the Income Tax Act, 1961. This number is the identity of every tax-paying individual or entity. The main purpose of a PAN card is to prevent tax evasion.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/business-pan-card.webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"490\" src=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/business-pan-card.webp\" alt=\"business pan card apply online\" class=\"wp-image-3076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/business-pan-card.webp 500w, https:\/\/itzeazy.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/business-pan-card-300x294.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u00a0Bifurcation of 10 digits<\/strong>  :<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The first three characters of the number are a sequence of letters like JJJ, or PPP, or OOO in Capital.
