03 February 2010For making Application for PAN of Company, can power of attorney holder or other person (authorised through board resolution) can sign, even if not directors of the company? As in this case, all the directors are foreign directors and not available for signature.

I think in the case specified (i.e authorised by BOD)..., it is possible....
But let others too reply....

Dear cnpatel,
Since Law has not prescribed "person responsible for sigining of PAN application form", I think Inferences has to be drawn from Sec 140:Signing of Return,
Therefore, if is a Domestic company - No it cannot be signed by PoA holder
For Foreign Company - It can be signed by PoA holder.

Aamir/Sathikonda,
Thanks for your reply. But in this case, all the directors are foreign and they are not available in India to sign hence not possible for them to sign. Would request to provide some practical way out.

In similar case, who is an individual and non-resident, I have sent the form through courier and got it signed by the NRI. I have submitted the form here in India. The NRI has been alloted a PAN and the PAN card has been delivered at the address given in India.
Best Wishes

Amir/Sathikona,
Thanks again for reply.
I think the fastest way to apply for PAN is to send Filled PAN Application Form online through email, color print by the director, physically sign by black pen, scan and send the duly signed form back thru email, color print by me and than apply for PAN.
Request to provide your comments, if any.
