In the case of companies, firms, trusts, and organizations using our portal of online PAN service, it is necessary to submit such documents as a certificate of registration issued by the corresponding government authority. The companies should present a registration certificate from the Registrar of Companies, and the partnership firms should present a partnership deed or a registration certificate from the Registrar of Firms. Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) are supposed to offer a registration certificate issued by the Registrar of LLPs. Trusts must provide a trust deed or a registration certificate from the Charity Commissioner. Other parties, like associations, local authorities, or artificial juridical persons, shall have to submit a document or certificate issued by a competent government authority that substantiates their identity and address.
The entities, which are not registered in India, are expected to submit the attested copy of their registration certificate in the country of their location. This certificate should be signed by Apostille (Hague Convention countries) or signed by the Indian Embassy, High Commission, or Consulate in that nation. Moreover, the copy of the permission issued by the Indian authorities to open up an office in India should also be provided.
