As we know, the Central Government had recently clarified that till December 30, those who are going to deposit more than Rs. 2.5 lakh, then they must get PAN Card for verification. PAN card is mandatory if cash deposits in accounts exceed Rs. 2.5 lakh. Earlier the limit for cash deposit without PAN card was Rs 50,000 per transaction, and due to this a lot of candidates were depositing less than Rs 50,000 per day to avoid the PAN facility. To prevent this, later Government has issued a notice saying multiple deposits made between November 9 and December 30 will need a PAN card if the combined sum goes above Rs 2.5 lakh
