Form 49A — Official PAN Card Application Form for Indian Citizens & Entities
About This Form
Form 49A is the application form through which Indian citizens — including those residing outside India — can apply for a Permanent Account Number (PAN). Incorporated and unincorporated entities formed in India, as well as NRIs holding Indian citizenship, are also eligible to use this form.
PAN serves as a vital identification document for individuals and entities engaging in financial transactions, tax payments, and investments in India.
Who Should Use Form 49A
- Indian resident individuals
- NRIs holding an Indian passport
- Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs)
- Companies, LLPs, Partnership Firms, Trusts registered in India
- Associations of Persons (AOP) and Bodies of Individuals (BOI) formed in India
Not eligible? If you are a foreign citizen, OCI/PIO cardholder, or a company incorporated outside India — you need Form 49AA, not this one. Picking the wrong form can lead to delays or rejection.
