You can now store your PAN (Permanent Account Number) on a cloud-based platform provided by the Government of India known as DigiLocker.

The PAN Card integration was rolled out by the government this week which allows you to access real-time PAN verification record from Income Tax (IT) Department. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has partnered with DigiLocker for the facility.

Learn how to store your PAN using DigiLocker from the step-by-step guide below.

Step 1
