BEFORE YOU OPEN THE OFFICIAL PORTAL

Catch common preparation mistakes

Review the three points that matter for your case. This is a self-check, not document validation or an eligibility decision.

I confirmed the correct taxpayer and business registration category.
I checked current business documents and verification instructions with IRD.
I will use the official taxpayer registration route and keep its records.

Privacy: Ticks stay on this page until you leave or refresh it. Your checkbox selections are not submitted or saved. The website may still log ordinary page visits.

Important: Even with all boxes checked, only the official authority can confirm eligibility, requirements and application status.

Office and programme variations

Personal PAN: the IRD describes online application and, for the taxpayer-portal route, office verification; Nagarik App may provide a different issuance path.
Business PAN: select the appropriate Inland Revenue/Taxpayer Service Office and confirm its registration requirements.

MATCH YOUR OFFICE OR APPLICATION PATH

Which route actually applies to you?

Office rules and documents differ by situation. Choose a route without entering personal information.

Inland Revenue Office (IRO) Choose the appropriate IRO in the taxpayer portal and confirm your visit requirements. See office & conditional documents Taxpayer Service Office (TSO) Choose an appropriate TSO in the taxpayer portal and confirm your visit requirements. See office & conditional documents

These are guidance paths, not official appointments. Verify current instructions with the issuing authority.
