Q.- In case I don't have PAN ( permanent account number ) but applied what procedure should I follow at the time of joining ?
A.- It is mandatory that the employee has a PAN card at the time of joining. However, if an employee possesses the acknowledgement slip provided by the Income Tax department, the slip should be attested by a gazetted officer and will be valid for a period of fifteen days post joining, after which the associate must have the PAN card or PAN number with them. Payroll of an associate will not be processed until his/her PAN number is updated in the system.
I suggest you to apply for PAN card immediately through official website. Don't bother to approach an agent because it's very easy. Here is another website that accepts PAN applications directly and officially www.utiitsl.com This is a wonderful website because you don't have to fill certain details about your accessing officer ( only agents know these details ) so you can apply directly.
