Apply PAN Card For NRI Or Foreign Citizen With Ease!

What is a PAN card?
Permanent Account Number, or PAN, is a 10 digit alphanumeric number issued by the Income Tax Department in the form of a laminated card. It allows the department to link all of the "person's" financial transactions with the Indian government. It contains your unique pan number allotted to you, your full name, father's name, date of birth, photograh, your signature, QR code and a hologram.

Is it compulsory?
Yes. In many cases, providing a PAN is required. Non-residents living outside India must also provide their PAN number if they want to conduct any financial or investment transaction. However we still advise you to get professional consutlation from chartered accountant in regards to whether you are required to obtain one for yourself or not. Because there could be certain cases where you might be exempted.

Is it also mandatory to quote it on the income tax return?
Yes, you must include your Indian PAN number on your income tax return. In the event of a default, a penalty of Rs.10,000 is imposed. 

Is a PAN number compulsory for NRIs too?
• All existing NRI assesses, taxpayers, and individuals required to file an income tax return must obtain a PAN.
• The Assessing Officer may issue it to any person, either on his own initiative or in response to a specific request from that person.
• People of Indian origin (PIO or OCI) living in other countries must also have a PAN in order to conduct financial or investment transactions in India.
