Form 60 is a document to be filed by an individual or any person (not a company or firm) to carry out financial transactions that mandates quoting of PAN, under either of the following two scenarios:
- Concerned person does not have a PAN i.e., not applied for
- Concerned person has applied for PAN but allotment is pending
So in scenarios of PAN being needed this can be used as alternate. Its better to generate a PAn card for the employee. Some of the transactions where form 60 is used is here:
Form 60 is required when an individual does not possess a PAN card and wants to get into financial transactions mentioned below:
