Many details of the cardholder are given in the number present on the PAN card. The Income Tax Department issues the PAN number. When you give information at the time of applying for a PAN card, the PAN number is prepared only on the basis of that information. By the way, a PAN number is a 10-digit alpha-numeric number.
