What is a Pan Card Number?

But before you apply for the PAN number, you need to know what it is exactly. The Pan or the Permanent Account Number is issued to every citizen of India who applies for the same and is actually used as a means of identification. This is issued by the Government of India, or rather the Income Tax Department and is basically a means for tracking financial activity.

Everyone who needs to conduct financial transactions which are equal to or above the sum of fifty thousand rupees needs to furnish their Pan card. This is really important. The government uses this to find out how much of tax has been generated by the country, which citizens have paid all their dues, who has not and the like. Basically, it is issued for the convenience of both the government and citizens.

This card is really important as is obvious and if you shift base or if there is a change in your marital status and other changes, it is best to keep the card updated so that it reflects these changes. The Tax Information Network (TIN) which is basically a body under the NSDL (National Securities Depository limited) provides the services for the same.

How can I apply for a pan number online?

You can apply for a change of your Pan number online since the NRI pan form is available on the internet itself and it is free of charge. However, one needs to pay a processing fee of nine hundred and nighty four rupees, exclusive of tax for this service. You will be able to submit the form online and as proof of this, you will be furnished with an acknowledgement form which contains a unique fifteen digit number.

After filling in the requisite details the acknowledgement form that you get needs to be dispatched. Add the supporting documents which will carry the weight age for the changes you have sanctioned in your card. Address these documents to the NSDL, UTI or a PAN broker office in India.

Note that the online form will ask for all the basic details in your old Pan card and all the points which you want to change need to be checked in the boxes accordingly, in the event that you would like to change your old Pan Card details, rather than apply for a Pan card.

Indian citizens need to pay just ninety four rupees and NRIs need to pay seven hundred and forty four rupees for this service. The mode of payment is flexible. You can use Demand Drafts, cheques or even credit cards.

The tracking number in the acknowledgement form can be used to check out the status of your application from time to time. This is very useful because you will be aware of how much time it will take for you to receive the new Pan card and can therefore take care of your financial transactions accordingly. You can track the movements online. This will definitely be a big plus.

Finally, you will receive the new Pan Card number wherever you are. It is generally delivered by post within a period of fifteen days if you are a non resident Indian and based abroad. Don’t neglect this; it is an important process, for every Indian!
