To get a business PAN card, your company or firm must apply using the official online or offline process through the NSDL or UTIITSL portals. For Indian entities, you must use Form 49A, while foreign entities use Form 49AA.
- Apply online on the official portal, or submit the printed Form 49A/49AA with documents to a nearby PAN service center.
- The application requires the entity's details, the correct Assessing Officer (AO) code, and supporting documents like the Certificate of Registration or Partnership Deed.
- Only a director or an authorized signatory can apply for the business PAN card.
- After fee payment, an acknowledgment number will be generated to track the application status.
