No Requirement for obtaining PAN card by corporate assessees. PAN & TAN mentioned in Certificate of Incorporation sufficient

No Requirement for obtaining PAN card by corporate assessees. PAN & TAN mentioned in Certificate of Incorporation shall be sufficient proof of PAN and TAN 

Requirement for obtaining PAN card u/s 139A of IT Act, 1961 eased for corporate assessees 

In case of a company, an application for incorporation, allotment of Permanent Account Number (PAN) and allotment of Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number (TAN) may be made through a Common Application Form submitted to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). In these cases, the Certificate of Incorporation (COI) issued by MCA contains a mention of both PAN and TAN.

Finance Act, 2018 amended section 139A of the Income-tax Act, 1961  removed the requirement of issuing PAN in the form of a laminated card. Hence, it is clarified that PAN and TAN mentioned in the Certificate of Incorporation (COI) issued by MCA shall also be treated as sufficient proof of PAN and TAN for the said company assessees.
