Dear Aspirant

PAN refers to the Permanent Account Number. PAN number is comprised of 10-digit alphanumeric number issued by Income tax department to everyone who applies for PAN card. PAN number is unique to every PAN card holder. It also serves as an identity proof. Once PAN card is issued, it remains valid for the entire life of the PAN card holder. The primary objective of PAN is to use a universal identification key to track financial transactions that might have a taxable component to prevent tax evasion. PAN card is not acceptable as a proof of Indian citizenship.

Yes, PAN card can be used as a valid id prrof for registration as it is issued by Government.

All the Best, further queries are always welcomed.
