Tax information form

[e975cadf]

Hi there,

I am a US citizen and have US passport but at present living in India. I have OCI card, Pan card, Aadhaar card and I have setup an Indian bank account. In this case whether I have to fill the W-9 form or W-8BEN form. So which form I need to go with and what should be the legal name of business. Kindly guide me through the process.

Looking forward for your response

Regards

Hi Dharmin,

Thank you for your message. US citizens will need to complete W9 with their name that matches their SSN.

Thank you,

Hi Dharmin,

Thank you for your message. I have discussed your account with the team and you will need to update your PAN details as well on the account to comply with the Tax Law in India. That said, you will need to complete the W-8 first to note your PAN details and then complete the W-9 form on the account.

Since you have already completed a W-9 form, please click the pencil icon on the W-9 form section. Select 'I am not a U.S. person' and update the requested information on the form to complete the W-8 form on the account. Once you have saved the W-8 form, you will see the 'Tax Identification Number' section at the bottom of the same page. Please add your PAN details in the 'Tax Identification Number' section. After you see the 'Completed' status in the 'Tax Identification Number' section, you can complete the W-9 form again. Let us know if you have any questions or need further assistance.

Thank you,

Pradeep
