how to identify pan card number

The Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a 10-digit alphanumeric number issued by the Income Tax Department, with each part providing specific identification details. You can identify the number's structure by its five distinct parts:

• The first five characters are letters, the next four are numbers, and the last one is a letter.
• The fourth character denotes the holder's status (e.g., 'P' for Person, 'C' for Company).
• The fifth character is the first letter of the holder's surname or entity name.

This structure makes the PAN a unique identifier for all financial transactions.
