Frequently Asked Questions

Using the wrong form (Form 49A instead of 49AA for foreign citizens, or vice versa) is one of the most common form-related mistakes that an NRI makes in NRI PAN applications.

The NRI PAN application often gets queued or rejected if the name, father's name, or date of birth on the form doesn't exactly match the passport or other documents. It could be an error in the spelling, initials, or even sequence.

Using outdated/invalid proofs, unclear scans, or documents where details don't match the form, like providing a different name or address, are some common reasons for NRI PAN application rejection.

Not signing inside the boxes, using the wrong ink, missing signatures, or signatures not matching those on documents, or poor-quality or scanned photographs are some reasons that frequently result in rejection.

NRIs often choose a resident AO code instead of the special NRI/international AO codes, which can delay allotment or push the file into manual clarification.
