📢 PAN RULE CHANGES — Draft Income-tax Rules, 2026

 



The government has proposed key updates on when PAN must be quoted in financial transactions. The intent is to rationalize thresholds and align reporting with risk-based monitoring.

🔹 Vehicle purchase — PAN needed only above ₹5 lakh
🔹 Hotel/restaurant cash payments — limit increased to ₹1 lakh
🔹 Life insurance premium — reporting shifts to account-relationship basis
🔹 Property transactions — threshold doubled to ₹20 lakh
🔹 Bank/post office cash withdrawals — new reporting trigger at ₹10 lakh

These proposed revisions aim to simplify compliance while improving transparency in high-value transactions.

Businesses and individuals should review transaction structures and documentation processes to stay aligned.

For clarity or compliance planning, consult your tax advisor.
