To apply for a Permanent Account Number (PAN) card as an Indian citizen, you must generally submit valid documents for three key categories: Proof of Identity (POI), Proof of Address (POA), and Proof of Date of Birth (DOB). You must provide a copy of one valid document for each proof type.
Commonly accepted documents include:
- POI: Aadhaar card, Passport, Driving licence, or Voter ID.
- POA: Aadhaar card, Passport, recent Utility Bills (not more than three months old), or Bank Account Statement.
- DOB: Birth Certificate, Matriculation Certificate, Passport, or Aadhaar card.
Ensure the details on your chosen documents match the information on your application form exactly.
