Pan Card has become the most important document for every financial work in today’s time. PAN is needed only in the bank or other transactions related to income tax return.

This time in the budget, Finance Minister Sitharaman has also made a big announcement regarding the PAN card. In Budget 2023, the Finance Minister has given a new identity to the PAN card. He has said that now the use of PAN card will be common for all. Now you can use PAN card as a Common Identifier. Along with this, any business can also be started with PAN card only.
