Required Documents for PAN Card when you are in Abroad
- Document that has your overseas address on it. The best document to use is your bank statement showing your overseas address.
- Passport copy
- Photo
- Demand Draft payable at Mumbai. Demand draft and cheque should be drawn in favour of ‘NSDL – PAN’. NRIs cannot pay with a credit card from overseas.
Steps to apply the PAN card in Online
- Go to online PAN CARD Website
- Read the instructions given in the page which explains the required documets and procedures if the applicant is in India or NRI.
- Go to the bottom of the page. ’Apply for a new PAN Card‘ and select Individual from the drop down menu bar.
- Application for Pan Card Form49A will open.
- You have to complete the entire form. Please don’t give the Indian address if you are applying for abroad. You need to give your present address in your country.
- Once filled the form please verify if the details are correct and then submit the form.
- You will see acknowledgement form after the successful submision. Take two copies of print out, keep one copy for your reference and you will use the another copy to submit.
- Paste your photo on one of the printouts of acknowledgement and sign in black ink.
- Sign on all pagers of the photocopies of your passport and your bank statement.
- Send all documents to NSDL, PAN unit at Mumbai.
- You can track the status of your application by using your acknowledgement number.

Once I apply on-line, how long does it take to get a Pan Card? Will it be quicker if i apply when I’m in India? I need it in a hurry, within the next 20 days, what do you suggest I do..go to India and apply with my Indian address?Or should I apply from abroad, on line, giving my normal residence. I need to go to India in 2 weeks time, will I get the PAN card delivered to my address abroad,within that tme ,if I apply today on line?
I look forward to your suggestions.

you are missing few points to mention in your information. Please answer the following.
About me: I am USA citizen living in USA and wants to apply for NEW PAN card.
Questions:1. Do I need to get demand draft first because without it when i click submit on online form, it asks for DD info.
2. How do I get demand draft in USA?
3. Does copy of USA passport (for Identity proof) and Copy of bank statement (for address proof) need to be apostilled/attested? If yes, how?
I will really appreciate your quick response to the above questions.

Hi Did you get any information on this? I am struggling to get the right information as everyone gives conflicting information. How did you get the DD in US for Indian Rs and did you have to get the documents attested from Indian Consulate? Please advice.
Thanks,
