GST & TAX · INDIA
PAN and TAN serve different tax-identification purposes, and a new allotment is different from a correction to existing data. LIQUETAX helps check the applicant's current identifiers, legal category and intended use before preparing the agreed application. Consistent names, addresses and entity records reduce avoidable gaps, while the applicant retains control of identity verification and authorisation.

BUILT AROUND YOUR BUSINESS
Individuals, proprietors, partnerships, companies and other entities seeking an identifier or resolving an existing record error. For example, a proprietor preparing TDS compliance should assess the TAN requirement rather than assume the personal PAN serves every purpose. An applicant who already has PAN should assess correction or reprint options instead of applying for a second number.

GET READY, ONE STEP AT A TIME
We’ll share an applicant-specific checklist after a short discussion. The exact records depend on your circumstances.
Before your first conversation
Organise your business facts and get a checklist to discuss with our team.
First, describe your business and the result you need. Next, organise the relevant facts without sharing private documents here. Finally, review your checklist with the team and agree the written scope before work starts.

FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO HANDOVER
We prepare, coordinate and track the agreed work. You stay involved in the decisions that matter.
Check existing numbers, applicant category and intended use.
Prepare a route-specific identity, address and date-evidence checklist.
Organise the agreed application and itemise service and external charges.
Share available acknowledgement and the relevant status-check route.
Preparation depends on accepted evidence and applicant verification. Authority or service-provider processing and physical-card delivery can vary. Confirm a preparation estimate for the selected route and track the actual acknowledgement; an instant-service name is not a promise that every applicant or correction qualifies.
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND
The written engagement confirms your deliverables and costs before work starts.
ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Need help with your specific situation?
Talk to our teamPAN identifies taxpayers; TAN identifies relevant TDS/TCS deductors or collectors. Explain the intended transaction or compliance task so the appropriate application can be assessed.

The Department publishes PAN Forms 93–96 for different applicant categories and CR-01/CR-02 for corrections. We check the current route before preparing your application.

The official service is free for eligible individuals who do not already have PAN and meet its Aadhaar-linked mobile and DigiLocker requirements. It excludes certain applicants, including minors. Review the official eligibility first; professional assistance is optional rather than a mandatory government charge.
References: Income Tax Department: Instant e-PAN eligibility and process
The Department states that existing PAN/TAN numbers continue to remain valid under the new framework. A legislative transition alone should not trigger an unnecessary replacement application. If your particulars are wrong or an entity has changed, that specific issue needs its own review.

Check evidence categories separately. The Department distinguishes identity, address and date evidence; the chosen application route determines the supporting checklist.

Verify the identifier record and compare the affected service's current data and exact error. A PAN correction does not guarantee immediate synchronisation or resolve an unrelated UAN, bank or registration issue. Retain the acknowledgement so any separately scoped follow-up can use the correct history.
THE DETAIL, WHEN YOU NEED IT
PAN and TAN serve different tax-identification purposes, and a new allotment is different from a correction to existing data. LIQUETAX helps check the applicant's current identifiers, legal category and intended use before preparing the agreed application. Consistent names, addresses and entity records reduce avoidable gaps, while the applicant retains control of identity verification and authorisation.
Individuals, proprietors, partnerships, companies and other entities seeking an identifier or resolving an existing record error.

| Question | What matters | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Existing identifier | Check whether PAN or TAN has already been allotted and identify the actual requested action. | A lost card or incorrect address does not automatically require a new tax identifier. Start with the existing record and proper update route. |
| Applicant category | Identify individual or non-individual status, citizenship and the relevant entity facts. | Use the Department's current applicant-category guidance to select the form. Review entity and citizenship particulars before preparing the application. |
| PAN or TAN purpose | Explain the intended transaction or TDS/TCS compliance need before selecting the application. | PAN identifies the taxpayer; TAN identifies the deductor or collector where required. Specific exceptions and current application instructions need review. |
| Evidence and verification | Agree the correct names and particulars against accepted identity, address and date evidence. | A scan of one document may not meet every evidence category. The applicant must complete the permitted identity and signature steps truthfully. |

Professional assistance and applicable GST are separate from official or authorised-service-provider application, card or correction charges. The Department's Instant e-PAN service is free for eligible individuals; paid assistance should be a deliberate choice. Other routes depend on applicant category, delivery option and current charges, which are checked before payment.
Preparation depends on accepted evidence and applicant verification. Authority or service-provider processing and physical-card delivery can vary. Confirm a preparation estimate for the selected route and track the actual acknowledgement; an instant-service name is not a promise that every applicant or correction qualifies.
