Yes, a foreign national who is employed in India can apply for a PAN card. The process is slightly different from that for Indian citizens and involves specific documentation. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how a foreigner employed in India can apply for a PAN card:
### **Eligibility**
A foreign national employed in India is eligible to apply for a PAN card if they have taxable income in India or need it for any financial transactions in India.
### **Documents Required**
1. **Proof of Identity:**
- **Passport** (typically the primary document for foreigners)
- **Aadhaar Card** (if applicable, although Aadhaar is generally for residents)
2. **Proof of Address:**
- **Indian Address Proof:** If the foreigner has an address in India, provide a document like:
- Utility bill (electricity, water, gas, telephone)
- Bank statement or passbook
- Lease or rent agreement
- Letter from the employer confirming the address
- **Foreign Address Proof:** If the address is only outside India, a foreign address proof document like:
- Utility bill
- Bank statement
- Driving license
- Any other official document showing the address
3. **Proof of Date of Birth:**
- **Passport** (usually serves as proof of date of birth)
4. **Form 49AA:**
- Foreign nationals must use **Form 49AA** for PAN card applications. This form is specifically for non-residents and foreign entities.

- **Offline Application:** Submit the completed form and documents at a PAN application center or send it by post to the relevant PAN processing office.
3. **Pay the Application Fee:**
- Pay the applicable fee for processing the PAN card. The fee varies depending on whether the communication address is in India or outside India.
4. **Verify and Submit Documents:**
- Ensure that all documents are self-attested and properly attached. You may need to submit original documents for verification if applying offline.
5. **Receive PAN Card:**
- After processing, the PAN card will be sent to the address provided in the application form. If the address is outside India, it will be dispatched to the foreign address.
### **Additional Considerations**
- **Indian Employment:** If the foreign national is employed in India, their employer may assist with the application process or provide documentation needed for the application.
- **Tax Compliance:** Ensure that you comply with Indian tax regulations and file tax returns as required.
### **Summary**
