Where can I apply for PAN in Mumbai?

PAN applications can be filed online through Protean eGov (formerly NSDL) at onlineservices.nsdl.com or UTIITSL at pan.utiitsl.com. For physical submissions, the UTIITSL Mumbai region centre is at Plot No. 3, Sector 11, CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai 400614. Multiple TIN-FC and PAN centres across Mumbai at Andheri, Powai, Dadar, Fort, and Borivali. Individuals with Aadhaar can get instant e-PAN at incometax.gov.in. Patron handles online applications from Marine Lines.

What is the fee for PAN card in Mumbai?

Government fee is Rs 107 for physical mode and Rs 101 for digital mode for Indian address dispatch. Foreign address dispatch is Rs 1,017. Instant e-PAN for individuals with Aadhaar is completely free on incometax.gov.in. Through Patron, CA-managed PAN registration is Rs 999 all-inclusive (exclusive of GST). PAN + TAN bundle is Rs 1,499.

How long does PAN card take in Mumbai?

Instant e-PAN for individuals with Aadhaar takes approximately 10 minutes on incometax.gov.in. Digital mode applications through Protean or UTIITSL take 7-10 working days. Physical mode applications take 15-20 working days from document submission. Companies via SPICe+ through RoC Mumbai receive PAN at the time of incorporation.

Is PAN mandatory for starting a business in Mumbai?

Yes. PAN is mandatory for opening a bank account, GST registration, income tax return filing, and financial transactions above specified limits. For proprietorships, the individual's PAN is used. For companies and LLPs, PAN is allotted at incorporation via SPICe+. For partnerships, trusts, societies, and HUFs, a separate application must be filed.

What is the AO code for Mumbai PAN application?

The AO code maps the entity to the correct Income Tax ward in Mumbai. Mumbai has hundreds of wards across multiple ranges, each with a different code. The correct code depends on the entity's registered address. Selecting the wrong AO code causes jurisdictional mismatch and processing issues. Patron's CA team identifies the precise AO code for every Mumbai address.

Can I get PAN without Aadhaar in Mumbai?

For individuals, Aadhaar is now mandatory for PAN application and linkage under Section 139AA. Exemptions exist for NRIs without Indian residency, senior citizens above 80, and residents of specific states. For business entities, the entity PAN does not require Aadhaar but the authorised signatory's Aadhaar may be needed for verification.

What happens if I have two PANs?

Having more than one PAN is illegal under Section 272B of the Income Tax Act and attracts a penalty of Rs 10,000. The extra PAN must be surrendered immediately. This is common among Mumbai companies that received auto-PAN via SPICe+ and also filed a separate application. Patron checks for existing PAN before filing any new application.

PAN Registration in Mumbai - Overview

📌 TL;DR - PAN Registration in Mumbai Services at a Glance

PAN (Permanent Account Number) is a unique 10-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the Income Tax Department under Section 139A of the Income Tax Act 1961. PAN is mandatory for filing income tax returns, opening bank accounts, financial transactions above specified limits, and as a prerequisite for GST registration, IEC, 12A/80G, and virtually every business compliance. Applications are processed by Protean eGov (formerly NSDL) and UTIITSL. Individuals with Aadhaar can get instant e-PAN free from incometax.gov.in. Companies via SPICe+ receive PAN automatically at incorporation through RoC Mumbai.

Mumbai's business ecosystem generates tens of thousands of new PAN applications every year - from Pvt Ltd companies incorporating through RoC Mumbai, to LLPs, partnerships, trusts registering with the Charity Commissioner at Worli, and NRIs investing in Mumbai property. PAN is the anchor document for India's financial identity. Learn more about PAN Registration across India.

Patron Accounting's Marine Lines office provides CA-managed PAN registration covering correct Mumbai AO code identification, Form 49A preparation, Protean/UTIITSL filing, and bundled TAN Registration + GST Registration for Mumbai businesses.

Content is reviewed quarterly for accuracy.

What Is PAN Registration?

PAN registration is the process of obtaining a Permanent Account Number - a unique 10-digit alphanumeric code issued by the Income Tax Department under Section 139A of the Income Tax Act 1961. The PAN serves as the universal financial identifier for every person and entity in India.

PAN is issued through two authorised agencies: Protean eGov Technologies Ltd (formerly NSDL) and UTIITSL. The 4th character of PAN denotes entity type: P (individual), C (company), F (firm), T (trust), H (HUF), A (AOP). For individuals with Aadhaar, instant e-PAN is available free from incometax.gov.in.

For Mumbai businesses, PAN is the prerequisite for virtually every compliance: GST registration, IEC (Import Export Code is now the PAN itself), bank accounts, 12A/80G for NGOs, FSSAI, drug licences, and ITR filing. Companies incorporated through SPICe+ with RoC Mumbai receive PAN automatically. But trusts, societies, LLPs, partnerships, proprietorships, and HUFs must apply separately with the correct Mumbai AO code.

Key Terms for PAN Registration in Mumbai:

PAN: Permanent Account Number - 10-digit alphanumeric code under Section 139A.

Form 49A: PAN application form for Indian applicants via Protean or UTIITSL.

AO Code: Assessing Officer code mapping entity to correct Mumbai Income Tax ward.

Protean eGov: Formerly NSDL - authorised PAN processing agency.

UTIITSL: Second authorised agency. Mumbai region office at CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai.

Trusts and Societies: Trusts registered with Charity Commissioner at Worli and societies must obtain PAN (4th character 'T' or 'A') before applying for 12A, 80G, or opening a bank account.

HUFs: Hindu Undivided Families need separate PAN (4th character 'H') with Karta's affidavit.

NRIs and Foreign Entities: NRIs investing in Mumbai property or businesses apply via Form 49AA. Required for tax filing on Indian income.

Individuals: Anyone entering the workforce, starting a business, or conducting transactions above specified limits. Instant e-PAN available free with Aadhaar.

Documents Required for PAN Registration in Mumbai

Individuals: Aadhaar (preferred), Passport/Voter ID/DL, address proof, DOB proof, photograph
Companies (if not via SPICe+): Certificate of Incorporation from RoC Mumbai, MOA/AOA
LLPs: LLP Agreement + Certificate of Incorporation from RoC Mumbai
Partnership Firms: Partnership deed + Registration certificate
Trusts: Trust deed + Registration certificate from Charity Commissioner
Societies: MOA/Rules + Registration certificate from Registrar of Societies
HUFs: Affidavit of HUF signed by Karta + Karta's identity and address proof

Mumbai-specific tip: The entity name on the PAN application must exactly match the name on the registration certificate (from RoC, Charity Commissioner, or Registrar of Societies). Even minor spelling differences cause rejection. For companies via SPICe+, do not file a separate application or a duplicate PAN will be issued. Patron verifies name consistency before filing.

Physical Submission Delays	Documents must reach processing centre within 15 days of application	Use digital mode wherever possible. Manage physical submissions for entities that require it
