Form 60

The PAN Card is used as an important document and it is essential to quote its number while making a financial transaction, filing of income tax returns, identification proof and so on. If in case, if any individual or non-individuals do not possess a PAN Card, then they will have to submit Form 60 to the concerned authority to proceed with the financial transaction.
