• Pictures- In the area provided on the upper corners of the form, the applicant must attach two current color photographs. It is critical to remember that the images should not be stapled or clipped to the form because they will be displayed on the PAN card.

The applicant must guarantee that his or her signature or thumbprint appears on both the photos and the form. The signature or thumb imprint for the photograph on the right top corner of the form should be included inside the box given rather than on the photograph, as the photograph on the right top corner of the form will be displayed on the PAN card.
