Important Note About the Term “Entity”
On this page, the word “US Entity” is used as a general term. It covers different types of organizations such as companies, LLCs, LLPs, partnerships, trusts, and non-profits registered in the United States Of America. When you see phrases like “Company PAN card” or “Business PAN”, they mean a PAN number issued in the name of a registered organization, not an individual person. Later on this page, you’ll also see the exact types of US-based entities we help with Indian PAN applications.

Introduction to a PAN Number for U.S. Businesses and Organizations

A PAN (Permanent Account Number) is a 10-character alphanumeric tax ID issued by the Indian Income Tax Department.

It works as the main reference number for all tax and financial records in India. In most cases, you would require it do business in India, and to handle your withholding taxes (including TDS).

In totality it is used by the Income Tax Department of India for tracking taxes, investments, compliances, and various financial transactions. Once issued, a PAN number never changes and never expires.

Why a US Entity May Need an Indian PAN card?

A permanent account number is required if your US-based organization is involved in any of the following:

  • Doing business in India or with Indian companies: Required for contracts, invoicing, and cross-border payments.
  • Paying or reporting taxes in India: Mandatory for income, withholding tax, or compliance filings.
  • Opening a bank account in India: Indian banks require a PAN for corporate or entity accounts.
  • Buying or selling property in India: A PAN number is compulsory for registration and reporting.
  • Following Indian tax rules: Helps avoid higher tax deductions and compliance issues.

FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions by U.S. Companies

What is a company PAN card used for?

A company PAN card (Permanent Account Number) is used by U.S.-based companies and organizations for tax reporting and financial transactions in India. It is required for paying taxes, receiving payments from Indian clients, opening bank accounts in India, property transactions, investments, and complying with Indian income tax rules.

How do I apply for a company PAN card from the USA?

U.S. companies can apply for an Indian PAN card in multiple ways. You may apply directly through official government portals such as NSDL or UTIITSL. Alternatively, many U.S. entities prefer using independent third-party PAN service providers like pancardnri.com or pancardexpress.com, which assist with form filling, document verification, submission, and tracking.

Is a business PAN card mandatory for U.S. entities?

Yes. A business or entity PAN card is mandatory if a U.S.-based company, LLC, trust, or organization has any financial, tax, or business connection with India. Even without a physical office or permanent establishment in India, a PAN number is required for compliance and to avoid higher tax deductions.

How long does it take to receive a PAN card in the United States?

Once the application is submitted, the electronic PAN (e-PAN) is generally issued within 3 to 5 working days and sent to your registered email address. The physical PAN card is usually delivered to your entity’s U.S. office address within 3 to 4 weeks. Since this is a government process, timelines are indicative and cannot be guaranteed.

What is the fee for a company PAN card?

The Indian government charges a standard processing fee for issuing a PAN card, which currently includes both the e-PAN and the physical card. Government fees are subject to change without notice. If you apply through an independent PAN agency, their service charges are payable in addition to the normal government processing fees. The total cost depends on the entity type and whether the application is for a new PAN, duplicate PAN card, corrections, or updates. You can check the exact pricing before starting your application.

Can U.S. companies apply for a PAN card without visiting India?

Yes. U.S.-based entities can complete the entire PAN card application process remotely. Documents are submitted from the United States, and no travel to India is required.

Can a U.S. entity apply for duplicate PAN cards or corrections?

Yes. U.S. companies can apply for duplicate PAN cards if the original is lost or damaged. Corrections or updates such as company name changes, address updates, or authorized signatory changes can also be processed.
