how many digits are there in pan card

The Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a **ten-digit alphanumeric** code issued by the Income Tax Department of India. This unique identifier is essential for tracking financial transactions and tax-related activities for individuals and entities in the country. The 10 characters follow a specific, non-random structure:

• The first five characters are alphabets.
• The next four characters are numerical digits.
• The final, tenth character is an alphabet, serving as a check digit for validation.

This structured format ensures that the PAN is unique and helps in efficiently categorizing the PAN holder.
