Get Company Details: Pan Power

A Permanent Account Number (PAN) is a unique 10-digit alphanumeric identification number issued by the Indian Income Tax Department to individuals and entities for tracking financial transactions. It is mandatory for individuals and entities to have a PAN card to file taxes, open a bank account, or conduct certain financial transactions in India. To obtain a PAN card, an individual must fill out an application form and submit it with the necessary documents, such as proof of identity, address, and date of birth. While the Know Your PAN service on the Income Tax Department website has been discontinued, there are still several ways to find a company's PAN details. This includes using the MCA master data, the Income Tax E-Filing Website, or the GST portal.

Using the MCA master data

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) provides a public facility to view master details of any company or limited liability partnership (LLP) registered with the Registrar of Companies. This can be done by clicking on the "View Company Master Data" link on the MCA Portal.

To access the MCA master data, follow these steps:

• Visit the MCA Portal at http://www.mca.gov.in.
• Navigate to the "View Company/LLP Master Data" link.
• Enter the Company/LLP Name or CIN/LLPIN of the Company/LLP.
• If you have the CIN/LLPIN, click the "Submit" button. If you don't have the CIN/LLPIN, enter the first few characters of the company/LLP name and press the "Search" button.
• From the list of companies/LLPs that appears, select your desired company/LLP by clicking the "Select" button.
• The CIN/LLPIN and Company/LLP Name will be displayed on the screen. Click "Submit" again.
• The system will display the required data, which you can then print out if needed.

Note that this method only works for companies and LLPs, and will not work for other forms of business.

Income Tax Department website

The Income Tax Department website offers a service to search for Permanent Account Numbers (PAN) online. This service can be used to find the PAN of a company or an individual. To search for a company's PAN, the following details are required:

• The full name of the company
• The date of incorporation or date of birth

These details can be found using the MCA Portal. Once you have this primary information, you can visit the Income Tax Department website and fill in the necessary fields to obtain the PAN number of the company.

It is important to note that the Income Tax Department has removed the 'Know Your PAN' service from its website. However, there is still a way to find the PAN, TAN (Tax Deduction Account Number), and GSTIN (Goods and Services Tax Identification Number) of a company by using its name. Here is a step-by-step guide:

• Visit the Income Tax E-Filing Website at https://www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/home.
• Click on "Know your TAN" under the Quick Links section on the left side of the homepage.
• Fill in the following fields:

• Category of the Deductor
• State where the company is registered (obtain this information from the MCA Portal)
• Name of the company (copy this from the MCA Portal if unsure)
• Your mobile number to receive the OTP (One-Time Password)

• Enter the OTP sent to your mobile number and click "validate".
• You will now be able to see the PAN, TAN, and other details of the company, including jurisdiction and status remarks.
• If you require the GSTIN, visit the GST portal at https://www.gst.gov.in/.
• Click on the "Search Tax Payer" option and enter the PAN number and the Captcha code.
• The GSTIN of the company will now be displayed.

By following these steps, you can obtain the PAN, TAN, and GSTIN details of a company using the Income Tax Department website and the GST portal.
