How to check your PAN status online
In a country as vast and diverse as India, it is important for the government to maintain proper law and order and cater to the citizens’ needs. This becomes especially significant when the citizens come from varying castes, cultures and religions. Owing to this, the government needs strong financial support in terms of tax, towards which every earning citizen of the country contributes. For these purposes, the concept of PAN was introduced by the Government of India in the year 1972. PAN is required to track all the monetary transactions of a taxpayer. Under Section 139 A of the Indian Tax Act of 1962, PAN is a compulsory document for the citizens of India.
With the development of digital technology, it has become easier to maintain important documents like PAN. The difficulties caused in the past due to the loss of these documents can be completely avoided. Now, the Income Tax Department also has the authority to make provisions for all information related to PAN card and to provide duplicate PAN cards for people who have lost their original documents.
