Minor PAN Card Application in Pune: Documents for Mutual Funds, PPF & Minor Bank Accounts

Applying for a Minor Child PAN Card in Pune: Purpose & Documentation

Under Section 160 of the Income Tax Act, any individual—regardless of age—is eligible to hold a Permanent Account Number. In Pune, parents increasingly apply for minor PAN cards to open dedicated Public Provident Fund (PPF) accounts, invest in mutual funds and sovereign gold bonds in the child's name, manage scholarship disbursements, or handle inheritances.

When applying for a minor (below 18 years of age), the parent or legal guardian acts as the Representative Assessee (RA). The minor's photograph and signature do not appear on the physical card; instead, the guardian signs on their behalf, and the word 'MINOR' is recorded in the NSDL database. KOKJAGUAR Consultancy provides smooth, paperless minor PAN application services across Pune. Review our PAN registration solutions.
