Is it safe to give your pan card number

No, it is generally not safe to share your PAN card number casually. It is a sensitive financial identifier that should only be provided to authorized entities like banks, government departments, or for mandatory financial transactions. Misuse of your PAN can lead to serious risks, including:

• Identity theft and fraudulent loans taken in your name
• Unauthorized financial transactions and tax-related fraud
• Damage to your credit score due to illicit activities

Always verify the recipient's legitimacy and provide self-attested photocopies with the purpose and date mentioned to prevent misuse.
