PAN (Permanent Account Number) and Aadhaar (Unique Identification Number) are two important documents for Indian citizens. PAN is used for filing income tax returns, opening bank accounts, applying for loans, etc. Aadhaar is used for availing various government schemes and subsidies, verifying identity, etc. Linking PAN with Aadhaar is mandatory for all taxpayers as per the Income Tax Act. It helps in preventing tax evasion, fraud, and duplication of PAN cards.
