Crore document counts do not establish coverage of all Indian residents. PAN can belong to non-person entities and passport holders can live abroad.
Aadhaar, PAN and passports measure different administrative populations. Do not add them as unique people.
1 Cr = 1,00,00,000 · 1 lakh = 1,00,000. Percentages, years, daily flows and rupees keep their own units. Showing full digits does not increase the source’s precision.

What this measures: Valid issued passports reported by MEA
Historical official benchmark; no 2026 stock verified for this edition. Issuance/renewal totals are flows, not valid-holder stock. State sex annexure totals do not reconcile to answer(a), so no sex percentage is derived. No resident-population percentage inferred.
Are individual PAN allotments the number of taxpayers?
No. Individual PAN allotments are administrative records, not tax-return filers, resident adults or people currently paying tax. Passport validity is a different stock with a separate historical reference date.
