Evidence scope
Some documents cross-checked with primary guidance

1. Before submitting

  • I confirmed that personal PAN, not business PAN, fits my purpose.
  • I checked current personal PAN documents and verification steps on IRD guidance.
  • I will register through an official IRD-linked channel and retain acknowledgement.

2. Documents to prepare or confirm

“Official guidance” = supported by a cited authority; “Confirm” = a preparation suggestion, not an established mandatory requirement.

  • Citizenship certificate scan (both sides) (In official guidance)
  • Passport-sized photograph (In official guidance)
  • Submission number, if using Taxpayer Portal and office verification (Confirm with office)

3. Field cross-check reminders

Do not write identity numbers, passwords or other personal details on this sheet. Compare privately with original records and the official portal.

Personal PAN

Compare with: IRD instructions for employees and individual income earners.

Avoid: Starting business registration instead of checking the individual route.

Taxpayer category

Compare with: The relevant IRD personal or business registration guidance.

Avoid: Selecting business PAN for individual salary income, or the reverse, without checking.

Official submission channel

Compare with: The IRD Taxpayer Portal or officially supported app route for your circumstances.

Avoid: Providing login credentials or identity scans to an unofficial intermediary.

4. Confirm your office or programme

  • 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.
