How the engagement works
PAN is governed by the applicable provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961 and related rules and procedures. PAN is required or used for various Income Tax, financial, banking, investment, and statutory transactions as prescribed under applicable law. The application process, documentation, identification requirements, and procedures differ depending on whether the applicant is an individual, company, firm, LLP, trust, or another eligible entity.
Scenario 1: An individual requires a new PAN for Income Tax filing, employment, investments, banking, or other financial transactions.
Scenario 2: A newly incorporated company requires PAN for its Income Tax and financial compliance activities.
Scenario 3: A partnership firm or LLP requires PAN for filing Income Tax Returns, opening bank accounts, and conducting business transactions.
