Even businesses, whether functioning as an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bajajmall.in\/emi-store\">online marketplace<\/a> or a physical company, require a PAN card, as it serves as their tax identification. Thus, a PAN card is an essential document for financial purposes and as an identity document.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Importance_of_having_a_PAN_card\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Importance of having a PAN card<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For an Indian taxpayer, a PAN card is one of the most important documents, as it serves as the legal identity verification for various purposes, including opening a bank account. Daily cash deposits exceeding Rs. 50,000 at a bank now require PAN card confirmation in order to combat fraud and money laundering. You must also provide your PAN details while applying for a new credit or debit card. Failure to do so can result in the rejection of your application.<\/p>\n<p>Even while availing of a loan, you are required to provide your PAN information. Similarly, you must furnish your PAN details while trading shares through trading and Demat accounts. Thus, any financial activity in the country now requires you to provide your PAN information. Besides financial transactions, your PAN card can also be used as proof of identity.<\/p>\n<p>If you do not have a PAN card, you are penalised by financial institutions. For example, u\/s 206AA of the Income Tax Act, your bank will deduct TDS at 20% on the annual interest earnings on savings deposits instead of 10%.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_can_you_apply_for_a_new_PAN_card\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000080;\">How can you apply for a new PAN card?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caindelhiindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pan-application.png\" alt=\"pan application\" width=\"920\" height=\"996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caindelhiindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pan-application.png 436w, https:\/\/www.caindelhiindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pan-application-277x300.png 277w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Given its importance, it is crucial that you apply for a PAN card.
