How Getting A PAN Card Could Be Useful

By Ashis Jain


The Indian tax system mandates that everybody pays taxes which are indexed by different rules. The implementation of the law has necessitated the widening of the tax bracket to get as many folks as possible to pay for taxes. The development of the permanent account number (PAN) within the tax system was the easiest method to capture more people by making it mandatory in different important transactions. The PAN card is really mandatory that you might not have the ability to perform some things if you lack the card.

This 10 digit alphanumeric unique identity is exactly what can be used to recognize people for tax reasons. It is made to be utilized in lots of other transactions where your identity is essential to ensure the transactions are authentic. The concept would be to keep every financial transaction that includes a tax aspect in track, which in turn minimizes chances of tax evasion.

If you earn any taxable income in India, you should apply to be allocated your own PAN; this applies to foreign nationals that pay taxes in India. It is also important for businesses to apply for the card from the tax department if they have a turnover of at least Rs 5 Lakh in the previous year before application. Having such a number will ensure that you are compliant with the tax laws in the country.

For you to be issued with your own PAN card, it is important to understand whether you should fill form 49A or 49AA. This information can be obtained from the Income tax department of India and visiting the office to apply or applying online. The application process requires that you submit a copy of your national ID and any proof of your place of residence and paying the requisite amount through a demand draft, cheque or cash.

Having the permanent account number allows people to undertake different financial activities including payment of taxes, filing income tax returns and in avoiding being charged more taxes than necessary. This is the number that shows the tax department that you are tax compliant or not. You cannot file income tax returns or pay direct taxes if you do not have this number.

You have to pay taxes when doing different transactions like in the purchase of immovable property worth least Rs. 5 Lakh. Everybody transacting in selling or purchasing an automobile, besides a two wheeler should also disclose their PAN number during the transaction since taxes may need to be paid. Therefore, getting this type of card becomes mandatory to be able to conduct such transactions.

The tax ID can also be mandatory when transacting amounts exceeding Rs. 25,000 inside a hotel, restaurant, and when visiting overseas. Furthermore, obligations well over Rs 50,000 towards the Indian Reserve Bank when purchasing bonds will also be taxable. This will make the permanent account number very important in everyday existence in India.

Additionally, you will require a PAN card when purchasing shares exceeding Rs. 50,000 in value. The amount may also be needed when adding over Rs 50,000 in a single banking institution within 24 hours. Payment with a minimum of Rs 5 Lakh to purchase bullions or jewellery also needs to be registered for tax purposes.
