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.

PAN Application - FAQs
Can I get an instant PAN?
An instant e-PAN based on Aadhaar e-KYC is offered on the Income Tax e-filing portal to eligible applicants who do not already have a PAN. Otherwise, a regular application is made through NSDL (Protean) or UTIITSL.
I made a mistake in my name on the PAN. How do I fix it?
Submit a correction request with supporting proof of the right name. We prepare it so the details match across PAN, Aadhaar and your bank records.
Do I need a PAN for my company or firm separately?
Yes. A company, LLP, firm or trust has its own PAN. Proprietors use their personal PAN for the business.
What if I have two PANs?
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.
Is my PAN valid if not linked to Aadhaar?
An unlinked PAN can be made inoperative, which affects filing, refunds and many transactions. Check status and linking rules on incometax.gov.in.
