Frequently Asked Questions
Is a PAN card mandatory for a loan?
Yes, in most cases. The KYC direction asks lenders to collect and verify PAN, with Form 60 from a person who has none. On a gold loan the assessment above ₹2.5 lakh runs on the number, and it counts loans with every lender. A loan repaid in full and closed still appears on the report, marked as closed.
Can I take a loan without a PAN card?
Not at ₹9.65 lakh, as a rule. A small pledge may open on Form 60 where no PAN exists, subject to lender policy. Above ₹2.5 lakh the bureau report is pulled on PAN, so the number is needed. A person with no PAN can obtain an e-PAN through the income-tax portal on Aadhaar, and the number allotted that way is a full PAN.
Is a PAN card required for transactions exceeding ₹50,000?
Not as one flat rule for loans. The income-tax rules list particular transactions and thresholds for quoting PAN, and the KYC direction asks lenders to follow that list. On a gold loan the figure that changes the file is ₹2.5 lakh, where the assessment begins. Separately, cash disbursal on a loan is generally limited to ₹20,000 under income-tax rules, so a sanction of this size goes to a bank account.
Is a PAN card mandatory for EMI?
No, not for each instalment. The number is verified when the account opens, and the lender registers a bank mandate once at the start of the tenure. Each instalment on this loan and on any existing loan is reported to the bureau against the same PAN. Timely repayment on the first loan therefore matters for the second.
Can I use an e-PAN card to apply for a ₹9,65,000 personal loan?
Yes, on a gold loan. The e-PAN from the Income Tax Department is the same PAN in PDF form. Lenders generally accept it for KYC, subject to their policies, and verify the number with the issuing authority rather than the card itself. The e-PAN PDF is password-protected, and the password is the date of birth in the format the portal specifies.
