Every Indian citizen above the age of 18 owns a PAN Card and does have a physical copy of it. However, sometimes it may happen that you forget your Pan Card at the home but you are in dire need to get it for some work. In such cases, you must have a PDF or a soft copy of your Pan Card with you as it is easy to carry since it will be on your phone all the time.
