Online PAN card application from US

Hi,

I am in the US and want to apply for a PAN online. I had a couple of questions for anyone who has succesfully received a PAN card from abroad (by applying online).

1. The form gives an option of AO "For International Taxation" and "For non-international taxation". Based on the requirements for residency I qualify for non-resident Indian and as such will have to use this AO. Did you also do the same? If so, which AO did you use and how did you go about finding the right AO? (There is a default AO available...did you use that?)

2. What did you give your residential and office address as? Residential - India and Office - Foreign?

Please let me know.
Thanks a lot in advance!!

Best,
Sandeep

As per HDFC Bank NRI can apply online for a PAN card without any problem.

hello sabharwal,

from where did you get (HDFC Bank) that , NRI's can apply for PAN card online?

can you please provide some more information like links?

HDFC Bank Janakpuri, New Delhi informed me that such a link is available in their web site. Since I am myself in need of this info I will again visit the above branch to confirm it and know further details. But they told me that the application can downloaded from net and mailed directly giving Foreign address.
