While filling in the Pan Card Form 49A, there are a few guidelines that should be followed. A few things to watch out for when filling out the form are listed below.

• Basic rules and Language: Only English may be used by the applicant to complete PAN Form 49A. There is no option for filling out the form in a language except English. The form must also be filled out in block letters, ideally in black ink. Only one character should be entered into each box supplied, leaving an empty space in between each character.

• Photographs: Two current colour pictures must be included by the applicant in the spaces provided on the PAN application form's upper corners. It is very crucial to remember that because this photo will be displayed on the PAN card, it cannot be clipped or stapled to the form. It is crucial to supply a photograph with sufficient clarity because the quality of the image on the PAN card depends on it.

• Signature on the photograph: The photo that is attached to the top left corner of the form should have a signature or left hand thumb impression. You must make sure that both the photograph and the form have your signature or thumbprint. The signature or thumbprint for the photograph on the top right of the form should be placed inside the box given rather than on the image itself, as this photo will be the one that appears on the PAN card.

• Correct details: It is important for you to take your time while filling out Form 49A and ensure you have the right information. Incorrectly filling out the form could cause problems during processing and even result in the application being turned down.

• Overwriting: Overwriting must be avoided while submitting Form 49A.

• Contact information: When entering contact information on Form 49A, there are a few things to keep in mind. It's crucial to include all pertinent information when mentioning an address, including the town, city, and pin number, which must be included. The STD code for the specified phone number should also be mentioned.
