About PAN Application

A PAN is needed to file returns, open a bank account for business, invest and transact above prescribed limits. Mistakes in names, dates of birth or the wrong application form cause rejections and weeks of delay. We choose the correct form for your category, check your documents, submit the application and follow it until the PAN is allotted.

What is PAN Application?

The Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a 10-character alphanumeric identifier issued by the Income Tax Department under section 139A of the Income-tax Act, 1961. A person can hold only one PAN, and holding more than one is an offence subject to penalty.

Applications are processed through the Income Tax Department's authorised agencies, NSDL (Protean) and UTIITSL. Indian citizens apply through Form 49A and foreign citizens and entities through Form 49AA. An instant e-PAN is also available on incometax.gov.in for eligible Aadhaar holders.

Yes. A company, LLP, firm or trust has its own PAN. Proprietors use their personal PAN for the business.

Holding more than one PAN is not allowed. You should surrender the extra PAN through the correction form and keep the one that is in use for returns and TDS.

An unlinked PAN can be made inoperative, which affects filing, refunds and many transactions. Check status and linking rules on incometax.gov.in.
