2. Employment: Most employers want to know your PAN card details for paying your salary and taxes. You also need it when you file your tax return.

3. Banking: If you want to open a bank account or do anything important with your money, you must have a PAN card. It's to stop wrong things like cheating or hiding money. Even putting more than Rs. 50,000 in your bank needs your PAN card info. The same goes for fixed deposits.

4. Post Office Deals: If you're putting more than Rs. 50,000 in a post office account, you need your PAN details.

5. Digital Money: Using digital wallets for payments? If you spend more than Rs. 20,000 in a month, they'll want your PAN card details.

6. Cards, Loans, and Score: Applying for a credit or debit card? They'll ask for your PAN details. Not giving them might harm your credit score. Need a loan? PAN details are a must.
