Dear Sagar,

you are not supposed to apply for pan card in the name of the propreitory concern in which you  are proreitor. you must useyour individual PAN for your propreitory business. you must use the same PAN for any number of propreitory business

Proprietory concern is not an independent and legal person person - it is a unit of proprietor. Therefore,  seperate PAN is not required. Seperate TAN is also not required. A PAN and TAN obtained for an individual carrying busines or profession in name of proprietory concern can use the samePAN and TAN.

He should take care to obtain TDS certficates in name of Proprietor. For this purpose every person who is to deduct tax from payments/ credit in favour of proprietory concern should be informed and requested to issue TDS certificates in name of proprietor instead of in name of proprietory concern.

Better course is that each invoice and other related documents should show name of concern and fact that it is proprietory concern of  say P.

 

It is suggested to the CBDT that a record of proprietory concerns of PAN holder may be kept and each proprietory concern be tagged with the PAN // TAN of the Proprietor.

 

you may apply for pan card use of just this simple process know your pan or get benifit in above thing.

AI Summary

Use of individual PAN: proprietors must use their personal PAN (and TAN) for sole proprietorship tax reporting and TDS certificates.
A proprietorship is not a separate legal person; the proprietor's individual PAN should be used for the business and the same PAN/TAN may cover multiple proprietorships. Deductors should issue TDS certificates in the proprietor's name, and invoices and business documents should identify the trade name as a proprietorship of the named proprietor.
