Print PAN Number on Invoices Using TallyPrime

Yarab A |Updated on: March 22, 2022

We all have encountered situations where the seller or service provider has asked us to quote the ‘Permanent Account Number (PAN)’ or provide a photocopy of PAN as a supporting document. The most common one being for opening a bank account. This is because, section 139A(5)(c) of the Income Tax Act has specified rules when a person is required to quote or give a PAN compulsorily.

Just like one needs to give PAN for opening a bank account, several translations as prescribed by law require you to mention the PAN on the documents. One such requirement is to display the PAN of the seller and the buyer on invoices of 2,00,000 or above.

In simple words, if you, as a seller, raising an invoice of 2,00,000 or more, it is compulsory for you to print your PAN along with the buyer’s PAN on the invoice as a separate field

Let’s discuss with an example.

Ganesh Traders, a dealer in hardware goods located in Maharashtra, supplies goods worth 2,50,000 to Maruthi Traders in Karnataka.

Here, Ganesh Traders should mention their PAN as well PAN of Maruthi Traders on the invoice. The PAN of both parties is to be printed in a separate field on the invoice.
