Important: Even with all boxes checked, only the official authority can confirm eligibility, requirements and application status.
Checklists by office or programme
Read only the scenario that applies. These preparation lists do not override the current government portal.
IRD Taxpayer Portal
- Citizenship scans (both sides), photograph
- Keep the official submission number and follow selected office verification instructions
Nagarik App
- Use the official app only; identity verification can differ from Taxpayer Portal
- Verify latest app eligibility and access requirements
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.
