The benefits of having a PAN card are as follows:

1. The PAN card serves as a unique identification number for all financial transactions, including the filing of income tax returns, opening a bank account, applying for a credit card, and investing in securities.
2. It helps track and maintain the financial transactions of individuals and organizations, which in turn helps prevent tax evasion and money laundering.
3. The PAN card is now mandatory for all high-value transactions, such as buying or selling property, and vehicles, and for making cash deposits above a specific limit.
4. It is required to be quoted in various forms and applications, such as TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) statements, TCS (Tax Collected at Source) statements, and other documents related to taxes.
5. A PAN card serves as valid identity proof and can be used as an alternative to an Aadhaar card or driving license.
