I primarily use my PAN card as proof of identity. A PAN card is a system of identification that assigns a unique identification number to every Indian tax-paying entity. In my family, everyone has a PAN card. It contains various information required to verify a person's identity, such as my photograph, name, my father's name, date of birth, signature, etc.

    On a PAN card issued to an individual, there are basic identification-related details. While a PAN card issued to companies has the company's name, date of registration, the PAN number, QR code, and hologram, and date of issue of the PAN. A PAN card issued to companies will neither have a photograph nor a signature.

    A PAN card actually has several types, and according to that, it contains different information. On the normal PAN card, which is issued to every individual, there is the individual's photograph, name, father's name, birth date, signature, an authenticity hologram, a QR code, date of issue of the PAN, and most importantly, the PAN card number.

    You can never use your PAN card as an address proof because it doesn't contain any details about your residential address. It is a core part of your financial and personal identity and contains details related to the same.

    It shows your basic identity details like name, date of birth, PAN number, and photo. I personally use my PAN card mainly for tax and financial-related purposes.

    A PAN card contains details that can be helpful for a person's identification. It has a 10-digit alphanumeric identification number that includes both letters and numbers.
