PAN Stands for Permanent Account Number. A PAN card is required for each Indian citizen as proof of identification and, more importantly, for all tax reasons. It is a one-of-a-kind identifying number given to an Indian taxpayer.
The Income Tax Department of India has made PAN card applications easier. The Income Tax Department has primarily appointed Protean e-Gov Technologies Limited (NSDL) to handle online PAN card applications. In this, the IT Department has selected UTI Infrastructure and Services Limited (UTIISL) to handle PAN card applications.
