PAN and TAN Application: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I hold two PANs?
No, holding more than one PAN is penalised. If you have duplicates, we help surrender the extra one properly so it never causes trouble.
Is Aadhaar linking mandatory for PAN?
Yes, for most individual holders. An unlinked PAN becomes inoperative, blocking refunds and higher TDS applies. We complete linking along with any application.
Do NRIs need PAN?
NRIs need PAN for investing in India, buying property, and filing returns on Indian income. The application uses different documents than resident applications, which we prepare for you.
When does a business need TAN?
The moment it becomes liable to deduct TDS, typically on crossing salary or payment thresholds. Deducting without TAN or quoting it wrongly attracts penalties, so we obtain it before your first deduction.
How long does PAN and TAN Application take?
In most cases the work is completed in e-PAN often within 2 to 5 working days; TAN 5 to 7 working days. The exact time depends on how quickly documents are shared and on processing time at the department. We keep you updated at every stage.
