PAN (Permanent Account Number) is India's taxpayer identification number, issued by the Income Tax Department through its authorised service providers Protean (NSDL) and UTIITSL. Foreign nationals and entities incorporated outside India apply on Form 49AA; Indian residents use Form 49A. Identity and address evidence issued outside India is normally required to carry an Apostille or attestation by an Indian embassy or consulate, and Thai-language documents must be translated into English before that certification step. Our role is translation, certification of the translation and assembling the document set — we are not agents of the Indian tax authority.
Primary identity evidence for individual applicants. The spelling on the application must match the passport data page exactly.
House registration, a bank statement or a utility bill. Thai-language documents need an accompanying English translation.
For entities registered outside India, with an English translation and the certification chain the receiving side asks for.
A birth certificate or other official record, used when the receiving side wants evidence beyond the passport.
Sizes and file formats follow whatever the service provider's portal specifies at the time of lodgement.
Check whether the applicant falls under Form 49AA (non-resident individuals and foreign entities) or Form 49A, because the accepted document sets differ.
Thai official records should be re-issued by the issuing office rather than photocopied, so the certification chain can proceed.
The translation must cover seals, signatures and any text on the reverse, and carry the translator's statement of accuracy.
Usually the Department of Consular Affairs, then either an Apostille or attestation by an Indian embassy or consulate, depending on the current requirement.
Submit via Protean (NSDL) or UTIITSL through the channel published by the Income Tax Department, and keep the acknowledgement number for tracking.
Yes, where Indian tax law requires one — for example income or transactions reportable in India — using Form 49AA. Eligibility follows the Income Tax Department's rules in force at the time of lodgement.
Not always. It depends on what the receiving side specifies; some accept attestation by an Indian embassy or consulate. Ask for the requirement in writing first, then match the certification route to it.
Only documents that are not already in English and are part of the required set. Send scans of the full set and we will identify which ones need translation.
Translation and file assembly are quoted in working days once complete scans arrive. Timeframes at the Department of Consular Affairs, embassies and Indian providers depend on their own queues and cannot be stated as fixed numbers.
Typically the certificate of incorporation with an English translation plus documents for the authorised signatory, which usually pass through signature certification and an international certification chain.
No. We provide translation, certification of translations and document preparation only. Approval and issuance of a PAN rest solely with the Indian authorities.

Form 49AA is the application used by individuals and entities that are not Indian citizens or Indian-incorporated bodies. The current form, field rules and accepted identity and address documents are published by the authorised PAN service provider, so confirm the version in force on the day you apply.

Documents that are not in English are submitted with an English translation. Where the issuing country is not English-speaking, the practical set is a faithful translation plus the authentication step the receiving office asks for.
It depends on the issuing country. Documents issued in a Hague Apostille country normally travel with an Apostille; documents from a non-Apostille country are attested through the foreign ministry and then the Indian embassy or consulate. Verify the route with the Indian mission covering your country before paying any fee.
Name and date-of-birth mismatches between the passport and the supporting documents, an address that does not match the proof supplied, and missing or wrongly ordered authentication stamps. Matching every field to the passport before submitting removes most of these.
We prepare and certify the translation and can explain the sequence of authentication steps. Filing the application itself is done by you or by your Indian tax adviser, who is responsible for the tax position.
Individuals and entities with Indian tax obligations or specified financial transactions in India, including non-residents in defined circumstances. The Indian tax authority sets the eligibility rules, and they change from time to time.
Proof of identity and address, commonly a passport and a supporting document, in the form the Indian authority accepts — frequently notarised or apostilled, and translated where not in English.
The document preparation, notarisation, apostille and translation steps are handled here. Processing and issuance belong to the Indian authority and its authorised agencies, and neither timing nor outcome is within our control.
