How to Apply For a PAN Card Using The UMANG App?

|

A PAN, or Permanent Account Number, is required for filing an income tax return. Apart from filing I-T returns, PAN is also required for many other services such as opening a bank account, applying for a loan, and so on because it is an important KYC document. PAN is now required for anyone earning an income (whether from a job or a business). If you do not yet have a PAN, you should get one as soon as possible. With the UMANG app, you can easily access nearly 100s of government services and applying for a PAN has become very simple. Here is how you can apply for a PAN via the UMANG app.
