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.
