What Is a PAN Card and Who Needs It

A Permanent Account Number (PAN) is India's 10-character tax ID issued by the Income Tax Department. Required for foreigners opening Indian bank accounts, investing in securities, holding shares in Indian companies, receiving dividends, buying property above THB 250,000, or performing similar transactions. Thai investors and entities operating in India need a PAN before any activity.

Required Documents

Individuals: valid passport (6+ months), two certified copies, Thai ID, current address proof (utility bill or bank statement), employment letter, and two 2-inch photos. Companies: certificate of incorporation, board resolution, and POA to an Indian agent. All items require legalization by the Indian Embassy in Bangkok.

Process Flow

1) Determine PAN type (individual/company/branch). 2) Prepare and translate documents into English. 3) Legalize at the Indian Embassy Bangkok. 4) File online via UTIITSL or Protean (NSDL). 5) Mail hard copies to Chennai/Mumbai. 6) Receive e-PAN by email in 7–15 business days. 7) Physical PAN card mailed within 30 days. 8) Onshipped to Thailand via EMS/DHL.

Timeline & Cost

3–5 weeks total. Indian government fee INR 1,020 (the rate published on the filing date), Indian Embassy legalization THB 2,000–3,500/set, and our service fee THB 12,000–25,000 depending on PAN type and corporate-document volume.

Common Issues

Common issues: address mismatch vs passport, non-compliant photos (must have white background), POAs missing full scope, and India-side courier delays around Diwali or Holi. Our 8-point pre-check reduces return rates.

Legal Basis

PAN is issued under India's Income Tax Act 1961 § 139A. Transactions without PAN may be withheld at 20% under § 206AA. Thai investors seeking treaty benefits must hold a PAN before filing Form 10F under the 1985 Thailand–India Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement.
