A foreign national, including a Nepalese citizen, can obtain a PAN card in India. Here’s a detailed guide on how to apply for PAN, especially when using an Indian address, and what documentation is required:
### **1. Eligibility for PAN:**
**a. Foreign National Eligibility:**
- Foreign nationals, including those from Nepal, can apply for a PAN card in India. PAN is required for various financial transactions, including opening a bank account, buying property, and filing income tax returns.
### **2. Address Proof Requirements:**
**a. Indian Address Proof:**
- **Rent Agreement:** A rent agreement can be used as address proof in India. However, it may need to be accompanied by additional documents to establish the legitimacy of the address.
- **Other Acceptable Proofs:** Other acceptable address proofs include utility bills (electricity, water, gas), bank statements, or a letter from a registered authority (e.g., the landlord, local municipality).
**b. Foreign Passport:**
- **Primary Identification:** The foreign passport is a primary identification document, but it is not sufficient alone to serve as an address proof in India.
- **Supporting Documents:** You will need to provide an Indian address proof in addition to the passport.
### **3. Required Documents for PAN Application:**
**a. For Foreign Nationals:**
1. **Identity Proof:**
- Foreign passport.
2. **Address Proof:**
- Indian address proof (e.g., rent agreement, utility bills, bank statements, etc.).
3. **Passport-sized Photograph:**
- Typically, a passport-sized photograph is required.
4. **Form 49A:**
- This is the application form for obtaining a PAN card.
**b. Additional Supporting Documents:**
- **In Case of a Rent Agreement:** The rent agreement should ideally be on a stamped paper and must include details such as the landlord’s name and address. It may be beneficial to have the landlord provide a no-objection letter or confirmation.
- **Proof of Indian Address:** You may be asked to provide additional proof, such as a letter from your employer or educational institution if applicable.
### **4. Application Process:**
**a. Online Application:**
- You can apply online through the [NSDL](https://www.tin-nsdl.com/) or [UTIITSL](https://www.utiitsl.com/) websites. Complete the application form (Form 49A) and upload the necessary documents.
**b. Offline Application:**
- Download Form 49A from the NSDL or UTIITSL website, fill it out, and submit it along with the required documents to a PAN application center or through an authorized agent.
### **5. Special Considerations:**
- **Verification:** Ensure all documents are properly verified. In case of any discrepancies or issues with address proof, provide additional documents or clarifications as required.
- **Processing Time:** The processing time for a PAN card can vary, but it generally takes around 15-20 working days from the date of application.
### **Summary:**
1. **Application:** Foreign nationals can apply for PAN in India.
2. **Documents:** Provide a foreign passport and Indian address proof (e.g., rent agreement).
3. **Additional Proof:** Ensure that the rent agreement is comprehensive and consider providing extra documentation if needed.
By following these guidelines, you should be able to successfully apply for a PAN card in India, even as a foreign national.
