Documents Needed During The Application Of 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.

One main document required when applying for a pan card is your photograph. The approved photo size should be 3.5 cm long by 2.5 cm width. It is supposed to be of a decent color that gives clear visibility of your face. Applicants are advised to attach this photo in the given space within the given application form.

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.

When applying for the permanent account number, you should also attach your birth certificate to help the tax department determine whether the indicated date is correct. The tax department states that the card must have been issued by a legal office that is approved to offer such documents. It is recommendable also to attach your domicile or marriage certificate if you do not have the birth certificate.

You may also need to provide copies of elector card or ration card, which have a clear photo of your face. You may as well decide to provide one of your identity photos that was obtained from a right institution. By providing these documents, you would help the tax department have easier time when trying to verify your identity to ensure that they do not just send the card to anyone else but to the suitable person.

It is also important to put your signature within the given box in the application. The signature is supposed to be a print of your left thumb and not any other finger. Sometimes, some people may be tempted to apply two or more pan cards with their personal plans. However, when you put a print of your left thumb within this application form, the tax department would keep your information to make sure that you can never apply for another card.

Candidates will also be needed to pay a certain fee that would facilitate the processing of the pan card. The income tax department requires candidates to pay via a demand draft, charge card, internet banking, cheque or bankcard. In addition to the payment, it is advisable to mention the acknowledgement number on the backside of the demand draft or cheque.
