can anyone misuse my pan card number

Yes, your PAN card number can be misused for fraudulent activities such as identity theft and financial crime. Since your Permanent Account Number is a key financial identifier, its unauthorized use can have serious consequences.

• Fraudsters can take out loans or apply for credit cards in your name.
• It can be used to open bank accounts for illegal transactions or to make large purchases like jewellery.
• Misuse can severely affect your credit score, making it difficult for you to secure legitimate credit in the future.
