who is eligible for pan card

Anyone who engages in financial transactions in India is eligible to apply for a Permanent Account Number (PAN) card. This includes both individuals and various entities, as the Income Tax Department has not specified an age limit. The eligible categories include:

• All Indian citizens, including minors (applied for by a parent/guardian) and students.
• Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs).
• Companies, firms, Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs), and trusts operating in India.
• Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) and foreign citizens involved in financial transactions that require a PAN.
