Applying for a PAN card for a minor requires careful attention to detail. However, if you are below 18 years of age, there are some specific instructions you need to follow when filling out this form, you can still apply for a PAN by following these steps:
The first step is to download Form 49A from the official Digital India Portal website. Next, fill in the minor’s details such as name, date of birth, and gender. In the case of a minor, the name of the parent/guardian should be entered in the ‘Name of Applicant’ field.
Then, fill in the contact details such as address, email ID, and phone number. In the case of a minor, the contact details of the parent/guardian should be entered.
In the ‘Father’s Name’ field, enter the name of your father. If the father’s name is not available, the mother’s name can be entered. In the case of a legal guardian, their details should be entered. You will need to provide your parent or guardian’s Aadhaar number.
Aadhaar is a unique identification number issued by the Indian government. If your parent or guardian does not have an Aadhaar number, they can provide their Aadhaar enrollment number or a copy of their Aadhaar card application.
Attach your proof of identity and address, along with the application form. In case you do not have any of these documents, the proof of identity and address of the parent/guardian should be submitted. Attach the proof of your date of birth along with the application form.
This can be a birth certificate, school leaving certificate, or any other government-issued document that shows the date of birth. Attach your recent passport-sized photograph along with the application form. The photograph should be clear and not older than three months.
In the next section, you will have to provide your residential address. Make sure to enter the complete address, including the house number, street, city, state, and PIN code. This address will be used for delivering the PAN card.
Lastly, your parent or guardian will need to sign the form in the specified space. They should also mention the place and date of signing. It is important to note that providing false information or not filling out the form correctly can lead to the rejection of the PAN card application.
