PAN number contains this information
Many details of the cardholder are given in the number present on the PAN card. The income tax department itself issues PAN numbers. When you provide information at the time of applying for a PAN card, the PAN number is prepared based on that information. By the way, a PAN number is a 10-digit alpha-numeric number. In this, every number shows some details.

The first three letters of the PAN number are from the alphabet from A to Z.

The fourth letter of the PAN card shows the category of the taxpayer. It tells which category the cardholder is included in. For example, if the fourth letter is C, then it means company. We tell you which letter represents which taxpayer category.

The fifth letter tells about the surname of the cardholder. For example, the fifth letter of Rakesh Kumar's PAN card will be K.

All the letters after the fifth letter of the PAN number are decided by the Income Tax Department.
