Why is PAN required to be linked to the account
Permanent account number is a 10 digit code, commonly called PAN, which is used by individuals or companies to carry out economic transactions and also avail government rebates (subsidies). If you transact more than 50 thousand rupees from the account, then it is necessary to have your PAN number linked. Apart from this, PAN number should also be linked with the account to get income tax return.
