Hello

I am planning to setup export business with one of my friend as a partnership firm. My friend and I, both have individual pan card. Do I need to apply separate PAN card for my partnership firm. Or I can use either one PAN card or both pan card.

As export license require the PAN card for Partnershipfirm. But I am confused with the term 'Applicant entity'. 

• Copy of PAN card of the applicant entity.

Documents for Partnership firm

• Digital Photograph (3x3cms) of the Managing Partner.
• Copy of PAN card of the applicant entity.
• Copy of Passport (first & last page)/Voter’s I-Card /UID (Aadhar Card)/Driving Licence/PAN (any one of these) of the Managing Partner signing the application.
• Copy of Partnership Deed.
• Sale deed in case business premise is self-owned; or Rental/Lease
• Agreement, in case office is rented/ leased; or latest electricity
• /telephone bill.
• Bank Certificate as per ANF 2A (I)/Cancelled Cheque bearing preprinted name of the applicant entity and A/C No.
