Indian documentation services
NRI PAN card — apply from the UK
A PAN (Permanent Account Number) card is the standard Indian tax identifier. NRIs use form 49AA, which differs from the resident form 49A. Matrix Solutions prepares the application, formats the supporting documents, and dispatches your PAN to your UK address.
- Flat £125 service fee
- Form 49AA for non-residents
- Delivered to your UK address
Who needs a PAN card
Indian property owners abroad
PAN is required to sell, buy, or rent property in India, and for many TDS-related transactions on rental income or capital gains.
Investors in India
PAN is required for opening NRE/NRO accounts, demat accounts, and most mutual fund or equity investments.
Inheritance and remittances
PAN simplifies inherited asset transfers, foreign remittances over certain thresholds, and DTAA tax claims between the UK and India.
Business activity
Anyone doing business with Indian entities — invoicing, consultancy, or directorships — usually needs PAN.

Common questions
Do I need a PAN card if I live in the UK?
Yes, if you have or expect to have property, investments, business, or rental income in India. PAN is also useful for inheritance and foreign remittances.
Will my PAN be delivered to the UK?
Yes — your physical PAN card is dispatched to your UK address. E-PAN (digital copy) is issued sooner where applicable.
Is an Indian passport required for PAN?
No. NRI applicants can use a foreign passport as identity proof. OCI cardholders are accepted.
How long does PAN take?
E-PAN is usually issued in a few weeks; the physical card arrives later. We share current expected times when you book.
