PAN application by NRI

A PAN is mandatory for every person who is required to file a return, and for those who wish to carry out a financial transaction for which the quoting of PAN is compulsory. An NRI (non-resident Indian) also needs to obtain a PAN if he falls into either of the above categories. The procedure to obtain a PAN is fairly simple and similar across all categories of individuals. However, NRIs need to provide certain documents while applying for a PAN, which are specific to them.

Form

NRIs who are Indian citizens have to apply for a PAN by filling Form 49A, while NRIs with citizenship of another country need to fill up Form 49AA. These forms can be accessed, filled and submitted online through the websites of UTIITSL and NSDL. On submitting the form, an acknowledgement copy with a 15 digit number is generated, which needs to be sent to the designated address along with other documents.

Fees

If the communication address provided by the NRI is within India, the fees are `107, and if it is outside India, the fee is `989, which includes application fees and dispatch charges. In case of online applications, the fees may be paid through debitcredit card or through Netbanking.Alternatively, a demand draft favouring UTIITSL NSDL can be dispatched, along with the documents and form.

Documents

Two photographs must be pasted in the space provided in the acknowledgment form. Also to be submitted is a copy of the passport as proof of identity.

 

Any of the following will serve as proof of address: 

 Copy of passport

Copy of bank account statement in country of residence

Copy of NRE bank account statement showing at least two transactions in six months and duly attested.

Process

The signed form with the requisite documents should reach the designated address within 15 days of the online application. If the payment mode is demand draft, the PAN card is issued on realisation of the payment, and dispatched to the communication address mentioned by the applicant.

 

NRIs can provide a foreign address as res idential or office address if they do not have any Indian address of their own.

PAN card dispatch facility outside India is available only in select countries. It is best to check the list before applying.

Understanding Your Cibil Credit Information Report

   WE ARE all familiar with the anxiety and uncertainty that we feel when applying for a loan. After all, it's the lender who decides whether we can own our dream home, our first car, or whether our children can pursue higher education. In a nutshell, a better life depends on the lender's decisions.    While other factors do play a part in the lender's decision, the Cibil Credit Information Report ( CIR ) plays a crucial role in a lender's decision to approve a loan application.    Previously, lenders would treat all loan seekers equally. Each applicant, if approved by the lender's internal credit policy, would be charged at the same interest rate for a particular loan size and purpose. The lenders would charge a higher interest rate to all the borrowers, in order to compensate for the possible default of a small portion of the loan disbursed. In other words, it's like a professor (the lender) punishing an entire class (borrowers) for the mischief played b...

How much to invest in gold ?

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Buy Gold Mutual Funds Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India) Let your motivation dictate the share of the yellow metal in your portfolio Enough has been said and written about gold as an investment option. The latest argument is that the craze for gold among Indian households is endangering our country's balance of payments. The policymakers are busy trying to find ways of discouraging investment in gold, but if households keep the common good in mind, they would be paying the market price for gas cylinders as they do for, say, their mobile phone bills. After all, private decisions are driven by private motives. So, how should a household look at gold from its own perspective? Gold is primarily acquired for its merit as a store of value. Even if the worst crisis hits a family, the gold that it holds could be put to use anywhere in th...

Compared to Bank FDs, Debt Mutual Funds are more Tax-Efficient

It is a security vis-a-vis returns battle between bank fixed deposits and debt funds In the past few months, banks have been consistently increasing their rates of interest on different fixed deposits. And after the Reserve Bank of India's Annual Monetary Policy, even the saving deposit rates are up at 4 per cent. For a six-month fixed deposit, you can easily get a rate of anywhere between 6 and 7 per cent annually. However, experts feel if one is looking to invest for less than a year, debt funds could make a better choice. The reason: Liquid funds and ultra short-term funds are giving annualised returns of 8 per cent. Financial advisors suggest retail investors opt for mutual fund schemes as they are more flexible and give higher post-tax returns. Opt for fixed deposits only if you are comfortable being locked-in for the tenure as a premature exit can attract a penalty. If your main aim is to ensure liquidity, debt funds are preferable. Though a fixed deposit gives you a...

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)    Systematic investment plans ( SIPs ) are here to stay. Going by the growing number of SIPs, it does look like investors have taken to them in a big way. Today as much as . 1,000 crore flow into SIPs every month. A SIP, as the name denotes, is a method to invest a fixed amount in a mutual fund at regular intervals --generally monthly or quarterly. It is easy to do and the minimum amount with most mutual funds is a mere . 1,000 per month.

Good Loan

Why Is It A Good Loan?: Loans against gold are cheaper and better than personal loans as the former are available at lower interest rates. In contrast, the interest rates on personal loans are not standardised and can vary from bank to bank. Also, a personal loan depends on a host of factors including, the borrower's salary, profession and the purpose for which the loan is being taken.      For instance, the interest rate on a personal loan of 5 lakh falls in a wide range of 15-30%. But loans against gold are available for as low as 11%. Secured borrowing such as a loan against gold, investments or property is cheaper because it is backed by some assets, which command a good value at any point of time. If the borrower defaults on the loan, the banks can liquidate the assets to settle the loan account.    Being a secured loan, the risk of default and credit losses is significantly lower in this loan compared to other forms of loan for personal use. Given the lower risk, gold loa...
