Quick Summary
Applying for a PAN card for a partnership firm does not necessitate registration under the Indian Partnership Act. A notarised partnership deed is sufficient. If the 'registration number' field in the PAN application form (Form 49A) is not applicable, it can be left blank or marked as 'NA'. While registration isn't compulsory for obtaining a PAN, banks may require a registration certificate if the firm applies for loans.

Is it compulsory for the partnership be registered under the Indian Partnership Act or just a notarized partnership deed is sufficient?

-->> No... Not Compulsory.
(But, In case the firm going to apply any loan then banker's asking registration certificate.

If so what should be written in the space registration no of the firm in the Form 49 A PAN application?

-->> Simply leave it or NA
Affix necessary documents and submit. Not applicable is general term which is used when nothing can be mentioned.
Partnership registration is not compulsory and is at the discretion of the partners whether they want to register the partnership firm or not.

So you can apply for PAN without registration too. Leave registration number of the firm column blank .
Who told it depends on how you run your business

Registration of deed is not mandatory for the same.

An overdraft loan with Kotak Mahindra Bank allows you to withdraw more than your account balance up to an approved limit, providing a flexible short-term borrowing option.
