Hi Muaaz, 


If you do not have a PAN or an Aadhaar number you may leave this section blank. Please know that if you do not provide us with either of the numbers, we will be required to withhold 5% of all your payments, starting with the first dollar earned. You will be able to claim a credit for the tax withheld in your annual tax filing and you may be due a refund from the Indian government if the amount withheld exceeds your tax liability. You may read more about it here. You may wish to consult with a trusted tax expert or advisor for specific advice.

Hello sir,
I wanted to ask Whether I can provide aadhar number in that section. If
yes, then I do have aadhar number. Kindly let me know.

Hi Muaaz,

 

You may enter your PAN or Aadhaar number in the “Tax Info” section under “Settings". Thank you.

Hello sir,

Thanks for your quick response.

I am unable to proceed through the setting up of payment method without entering my PAN number, which i dont have. I tried aadhar in its place but i didnt work.

Kindly see the attached file. Waiting for your prompt reply.

 

Thank you
