Why is it necessary to link PAN card with Aadhaar?
The government uses the PAN card to keep a record of the financial transactions of the people in the country. It is issued by the Income Tax Department. It works through electronic system. All the tax related information of a person or company is recorded in a single PAN number. PAN serves to store that data. It is issued only once to any person. In such a situation, when it is deactivated, many problems may have to be faced.
