The Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a ten-digit alphanumeric code issued by the Income Tax Department. Here is a concise explanation of its formation with examples:

First three characters: They represent an alphabetic series running from AAA to ZZZ.

Fourth character: It represents the status of the PAN holder. Some examples are:

"A" for Association of Persons (AoP)
"B" for Body of Individuals (BOI)
"C" for Company
"F" for Firm/Limited Liability Partnership
"G" for Government Agency
"H" for Hindu Undivided Family (HUF)
"J" for Artificial Juridical Person
"L" for Local Authority
"P" for Individual
"T" for Trust

Fifth character: For individuals, it represents the first character of the last name/surname. For non-individuals, it represents the first character of the name.

Next four characters: They are sequential numbers from 0001 to 9999. These numbers help differentiate between multiple PAN holders with similar details.

Last character: It is an alphabetic check digit that ensures the integrity of the PAN. This digit is calculated based on the other characters in the PAN.

Combining all the above items provides a PAN with its unique identity. [Eg : ABCTY1234D]
