Dear Pradeep,

                                for the Filing of ITR-6 of Company, PAN of Directors are not compulsory for given. therefore there is no issue if foreign director does not have PAN

 

Thanks

Company's IT return is required to be signed digitally.  For getting the digital signature PAN is required, if that has to be used for signing IT return.  Hence PAN of director signing the IT return digitally for a company is necessary.

As per the FAQ available at department's site, incase PAN is not available for foreign director, one need to enter FFFPF9999F
