Wikipedia Asking PAN Number for Donation Process (India)

As you may have seen/noticed, Wikipedia is asking for a donations. I've seen the similar messages on Wiki pages before, not highlighted in such manner (red box with large font)

I was proceeding with the donation but stopped when it asked for PAN number. Any idea why they are asking for PAN number?



http://wiki.wikimedia.in/FAQ-Donations "For large value donations, PAN number is mandatory to enable the Chapter to comply with the regulatory requirements."


Can you use Bitcoin and a VPN to bypass this arbitrary rule?
