it is just one of those things that need to be done. The government says get a PAN. We follow.
PAN, as you probably know, refers to the Permanent Account Number issued by the income tax department. It is a must for everyone who files a tax return.
If you are going through a tax consultant, you need not worry. He will supply you with Form 49A and give you a list of the documents he needs.
You fill the form, give it to him, pay him his fee and relax. He will submit it to the tax authorities.
But if you believe in doing things on your own and are wondering how to get started, Get Ahead has the information for you!
1. Get the form
You could visit the official Web sites of the Income Tax department or UTI Investor Services Ltd or National Securities Depository Limited.
Download the PAN application (Form 49A) from any of these sites.
2. Don't forget the photograph!
You will need a recent colour photograph (stamp size: 3.5 cm x 2.5 cm) to attach on the form.
3. Some additional information
You must mention the designation and code of the concerned Assessing Officer of the Income Tax department in Form 49A. You can get this from the IT PAN service centres mentioned in the Web sites listed above.
4. Documents for proof of identity and residence
~ Proof of identity (any one)
Passport
Voter's ID
Driving license
School leaving certificate
Matriculation certificate
Degree from a recognised educational institution
Depository account
Credit card
Bank account
Water bill
Ration card
Property tax assessment order
Certificate of identity signed by an MP/ MLA/ municipal councillor/ gazetted officer
~ Proof of residence (any one):
Passport
Voter's ID
Driving license
Electricity bill
Telephone bill
Depository account
Credit card
Bank account
Ration card
Employer's certificate
Property tax assessment order
Rent receipt
Certificate of address signed by a MP/ MLA/ municipal councillor/ gazetted officer
5. Submit the form
Fill in the application form and submit it in at any of the IT PAN service centres or TIN facilitation centres along with a fee of Rs 65. The location of such centres is listed at the above mentioned Web sites.
Within a month, a flashy credit card style PAN card will be couriered by UTIISL to the mailing address mentioned in your application.
Do's and don'ts when completing the PAN application
1. No PIN, no PAN
The address you mention in your PAN application should carry the correct PIN code of the place. If you forget this, your application will be rejected.
2. No initials please
You need to mention your full name (that means your surname and the middle name). Using initials could get your application rejected.
3. Married? Please use your maiden name
Women are supposed to enter their father's name in the application form, regardless of their marital status.
4. Proper documents
All the documents asked for must be provided. Else, your application will be rejected.
~ On receipt of the PAN
The moment you get your card, verify it.
Check the name mentioned in the card immediately. Is the spelling right?
Also, look at the number (your PAN is alpha-numeric, which means it is composed of both alphabets and numbers). The fifth character of your PAN must be the first alphabet of your last name (for example, if your last name is Shah, the fifth character of your PAN must be S).
