Frequently asked questions

What is a PAN card number?
A Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a 10-character alphanumeric identifier issued by the Income Tax Department of India. It is used for tax filings, financial transactions, and identity verification.
What does the format AAAAA0000A mean?
The first 3 characters are alphabetic (random), the 4th encodes the taxpayer type (P = Individual, C = Company, F = Firm, etc.), the 5th is the first letter of the holder's surname, the next 4 are digits (sequential), and the last is an alphabetic check character.
Are the generated PANs real?
No. They follow the correct format and pass format validation, but they are not registered with the Income Tax Department. Use them only for software testing.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All validation and generation happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your input never leaves your device.
