How to prefix proprietorship firm name on PAN card

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

You cannot obtain a PAN card directly in the name of a proprietorship firm, as it doesn't have a separate legal identity from its owner. The proprietor's individual PAN card is used for all business transactions and income tax filings. While a separate PAN isn't possible, you can obtain other forms of business registration proof like GST or shop registration.

08 June 2020 PAN card can't be obtained in the name of proprietorship firm. Income tax return can be filed only in the name of proprietor individual name only. No need for another PAN in the name of proprietorship firm.

09 June 2020 Proprietorship concern has its legal identity by virtue of Proprietor itself and has no separate legal standing and so No question of having a separate PAN for Proprietorship, under the existing laws.
You are free to use Proprietor's PAN for all required legal purposes.
If you need any entity proof for the Proprietorship concern, you may get regsiter with any other Authority and get an entity proof like GST, Shop and Est Registration, etc.
Hope this resolves your query.
