PAN Card Update: In today’s time, identity documents have become essential for everyone. People commonly use Aadhaar card, Voter ID, PAN card, or driving license for identification. Among these, the PAN card has become an important part of our daily lives. From opening a bank account to filing income tax returns, the PAN card is useful in every important task.
Surprisingly, many people do not know whether their PAN card is active or inactive. People often assume that once a PAN card is issued, it will always work. Because the PAN card is not used every day, people do not pay attention to its status. This small negligence can later become the cause of major problems.

What are the consequences of an inactive PAN card?
If your PAN card has become inactive, you may face penalties or legal action for using it. An inactive PAN card can lead to your bank account being frozen. Besides, you will not be able to file income tax returns and will face difficulties in obtaining loans or credit cards. Therefore, it is very important for your PAN card to be active.
Why does a PAN card become inactive?
There can be several reasons for a PAN card becoming inactive. The biggest reason is not linking the PAN card with Aadhaar. Additionally, if a person has two PAN cards issued in their name, or if the name, date of birth, or other information on the PAN card is incorrect, the PAN card may be deactivated. Many times, people don’t even realize this.
