Until now we have been focusing on Aadhaar and its importance seeing the government's push to make it everywhere from availing subsidy on LPG to scholarship to filing ITR. It was also in the news in a leading news that seeing the importance of Aadhaar, PAN can lose its significance in not so distant future. But as against, the move will not be so instant a step, as PAN has over the years gain its own importance in the financial matters in India.
