Association of persons:"A"
HUF="H"
Local authority:"L"

2.Fifth field of PAN denotes NAME

 good explanation by praveen kumar

As you have stated that "As such for an individual the letter will be 'P' for an HUF it will be an 'H', for firms - 'F' and for companies - 'C'."

Here I would like to add that for Individual 'P' alloted on basis of the Person.In definition it is called Indiavidual Person and hence it is alloted 'P'

really good info..Mr. Parveen..

NOT VERY GUD AS I ALREDY KNOWS IT........... JAI SRI KRISHNA......
