PAN Card in Singapore

Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a unique ten-digit alphanumeric number issued by the Income Tax Department in India. This number is mandatory for carrying out various financial transactions such as opening a bank account, receiving taxable salary or professional fees, sale or purchase of assets above specified limits.

PAN Card, in the form of a laminated card, refers to a permanent number, which does not change during the lifetime of the PAN holder and serves as an important identity proof. It is allotted to each tax payer by the Income Tax Department, individuals and entities, under the supervision of the Central Board of Direct Taxes.

The primary objective is to use a universal identification key to track financial transactions having a taxable component in it in order to prevent tax evasion. It remains unaffected by change of address throughout the country.
