PAN Application for NRIs
Applying for or updating a Permanent Account Number as a Non-Resident Indian, OCI holder, or foreign national with Indian income.
NRIs apply for PAN using Form 49AA — the form for individuals who are not Indian citizens, or who are Indian citizens residing outside India — submitted online through NSDL/UTIITSL along with proof of identity, address abroad, and a passport-size photograph. A PAN is required to open certain NRO/NRE accounts for investment purposes, to file an Indian tax return, and to avoid the higher TDS rate that applies without one.
When NRIs need a PAN
PAN is central to almost every India-linked financial transaction, from a bank account to a property sale.
- Opening or operating NRO/NRE/FCNR accounts for certain transactions
- Filing an Indian income tax return or claiming a refund
- Selling or buying immovable property in India
- Investing in Indian mutual funds, shares or other securities
- Avoiding the higher TDS rate applicable where PAN is not furnished
- Updating an existing PAN after a change of name, address or citizenship status

Not every foreign ID or utility bill is accepted — we confirm what NSDL/UTIITSL will accept before you apply.
