Frequently Asked Questions

A PAN card is an important document that helps an individual in financial transactions, like opening a bank account, buying property, investing in mutual funds, stocks, or the Indian share markets. A PAN card can be very useful in Australia because to open a company or start a business, they will need a valid PAN card for carrying the legal transactions in India.

A major difference between the NRI/  Australian PAN card and the normal PAN card is that, in the NRI/Australian PAN card, we have to mention the correct AO codes and fill out the details in the application form accurately, and on the normal PAN card, we don't have to fill the AO codes because these codes are only used for the international taxation.

No, there is no need for the Aadhaar card for the NRI or Australian/Foreign citizens to apply for a PAN card. They can easily apply for the PAN card from Australia by submitting proof of identity and proof of address.
