Now forged PAN cards!

Why on earth should somebody forge a PAN card? May be with so many agencies insisting on a pan card, for those not wanting to be in the radar screen of the Income Tax department, a forged PAN is required. If there is a market, there will be production and that is exactly what the Chennai Income Tax found when they found a businessman having several forged PAN cards. To his credit, the PAN was not the only forged card he had; he had a forged driving licence and a voter identity card too.
