I primarily use my PAN card as proof of identity. A PAN card is a system of identification that assigns a unique identification number to every Indian tax-paying entity. In my family, everyone has a PAN card. It contains various information required to verify a person's identity, such as my photograph, name, my father's name, date of birth, signature, etc.
On the PAN card, you will see the Name of the cardholder, firm or company, father’s name on the PAN card. It is only for the individual type of PAN cards. The PAN cardholder's date of birth is also mentioned on the front of the PAN Card, with a 10-digit alphanumeric number, signature of the PAN cardholder, and photo of the PAN cardholder. Additionally, New PAN 2.0 has a unique QR code that stores all the information of an individual, private firm, or company, and can only be read through authorized software.
A PAN card has personal information on the PAN card, like the name of the cardholder, the Fathers name, a QR code, signature, date of birth, photo, 10-digit alphanumeric PAN number, and the PAN number shows many details about the individual, company or private firm, like for example ‘AFZPK8745K’, this is the PAN number structure, where first three letters are alphabertic services numbers starting from AAA to ZZZ, and fourth number repernests the status of PAN cardholder like P defines ‘Indivisual’, F defines ‘Firm’, C defines ‘Company’ H for HUF (Hindu undivided Family), and A for AOP (Association of Persons), Fifth character defines the PAN holders’s last name and surname, next four letters is serireal number from 0000 to 9999, and, last character defines an alphabetic check for identification purpose.
A PAN card actually has several types, and according to that, it contains different information. On the normal PAN card, which is issued to every individual, there is the individual's photograph, name, father's name, birth date, signature, an authenticity hologram, a QR code, date of issue of the PAN, and most importantly, the PAN card number.
On a PAN card issued to an individual, there are basic identification-related details. While a PAN card issued to companies has the company's name, date of registration, the PAN number, QR code, and hologram, and date of issue of the PAN. A PAN card issued to companies will neither have a photograph nor a signature.
It shows your basic identity details like name, date of birth, PAN number, and photo. I personally use my PAN card mainly for tax and financial-related purposes.
You can never use your PAN card as an address proof because it doesn't contain any details about your residential address. It is a core part of your financial and personal identity and contains details related to the same.
A PAN card contains details that can be helpful for a person's identification. It has a 10-digit alphanumeric identification number that includes both letters and numbers.
A PAN card has five characters, with the first three characters forming an alphabetical sequence, the fourth character identifies the type of the cardholder, the fifth character is the first letter of either the first name or surname of the person. The last character is an alphabetic digit used as a checksum to verify the validity of the current code.
Your PAN card has your photograph, PAN number, name, date of birth, and your father's or spouse's name.
