What Is Required To Apply For A Pan Card

By Wanda Rosner


There are a variety of situations people would have to show their permanent account number; the main ones being when buying or selling immovable property, depositing money to a bank account or during the application of a credit card. When making payments in hotels, restaurants or transport passports, you may also have to disclose the details of your pan card. If you decide to apply for a pan card, you would need to attach various documents to the application form.

Among the main documents required for the application of the permanent account number is your passport size photo. The tax department requires applicants to take a 3.5 by 2.5 centimeter clear and decent passport size photograph. This photo should be attached to the application form within the space given.

One is also needed to attach a copy of their matriculation or school-leaving certificate. If the applicant cannot trace where these certificates are, they can instead attach any other certificate from a recognized educational body. The purpose of these documents is to proof their identity and proof that they went through schooling.

Other essential documents that applicants should attach to the application form are electricity bill or landline telephone, consumer connection or broadband connection bill cards. You can also attach your bank account statement, depository account statement or credit card statement. The tax department requires these documents in order to proof your address.

Candidates would also be needed to submit a copy of their birth certificate attached to the application form. The tax department requests candidates to make sure their certificates were obtained from a Municipal Authority or other offices that have the mandate to offer birth certificates. In case you do not have a birth certificate, you may as well attach copies of your domicile certificate, marriage certificate or perhaps driving license.

Applicants would also have to attach a copy of their elector photo card or ration card that is printed with their photo. One may also have to affix a copy of one of their identity cards or passport that was issued by an approved legal institution. These documents are required to help the tax department have an easy time when trying to prove the identity of the applicant.

It is also important to provide your signature in the given box within the application. The signature should be particularly a print of the left hand as it is the only approved finger by the tax department. At times, people might be enticed to apply for more than one pan card due to various reasons. However, when you provide your left hand print in this particular application, the tax department would keep the information to ensure people cannot apply for any other card.

In order to ensure that the income tax department can easily process the pan card, the applicant would also have to pay a certain fee. The payment should be made through net banking, debit card, credit card, demand draft or cheque. In order to verify that you have paid through a cheque or demand draft, you would need to mention the acknowledgement number of such drafts or cheques on the reverse of the draft or cheque.
