What it is
NRI PAN, explained in plain English.
PAN (Permanent Account Number) is India's tax ID, mandatory for any NRI or foreign national who: opens an NRO / NRE bank account, buys / sells Indian property, invests in MFs or shares, earns taxable income in India, or claims DTAA / refund. Form 49AA is the NRI / foreign variant of Form 49A, processed by NSDL or UTIITSL after document verification.
TL;DR
Form 49AA + apostilled passport copy + foreign address proof = NRI PAN in 7-15 days. Apply early - everything in India is gated by PAN.
