Among the most significant documents, an Indian legal instrument is a PAN card. The Income Tax Department of India issues the Permanent Account Number (PAN) to the citizens of India as per the Income Tax Rules. Acting as Identity Proof, this 10-digit alphanumeric number records an individual’s transactions under a single database.
With the help of the Permanent Account Number, the Indian Government is able to track down all the financial activities of individuals. As per Income Tax Rules, it is mandatory to quote the PAN number for specifically large-amount transactions.
For the immovable-property dealing, the government has set a monetary limit of Rs. 10,00,000 while the limit for hotel bills and restaurants is Rs. 50,000. There’s a price ceiling to quote the PAN number of the said individual beyond this expense.
In a case where a person is dealing through cash transactions of Rs. 20,000, the government has imposed the same rule. A failure or violation of these rules can directly result in a penalty along with imprisonment.
