Which PAN should I enter for my business type?

Use the PAN that matches the legal person applying. Private limited companies, partnerships and HUFs should use their business PAN. Freelancers and sole proprietors can use their personal PAN.

Check the entity type before verifying the PAN. A company’s business PAN and a director’s personal PAN serve different purposes and should not be substituted for each other. If the application identifies the wrong business after PAN verification, stop and ask for correction rather than confirming inaccurate details. If you are unsure which business category applies, ask support which PAN and application route to use.
