This discussion addresses the process for a university to obtain a Permanent Account Number (PAN) when it lacks one. Key considerations include determining the correct assessee status, such as Artificial Judicial Person, Association of Persons (AOP), Trust, or Government, depending on the university's funding and constitutional structure. Guidance suggests applying under AOP for non-profit universities, with a specific category 'G' for government-funded institutions.
