An employer certificate is recognised as one of the acceptable documents for address proof under Rule 114 (4) of the Income Tax Rules, 1962, which specifies the documents required to apply for a new PAN card. This provision is particularly useful for salaried individuals and members of the Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) who may not have other residential proof.

Employer certificate as an address proof

An employer certificate serves as a written confirmation from the applicant's employer, attesting that the individual resides at a specific address. Companies typically conduct background checks during their recruitment process, which includes verifying the employee's address. The employer’s confirmation is therefore deemed reliable, as any inaccuracies would hold the employer accountable, and no employer would want to risk providing false information.

Annexure B: PAN application for employer certificate

Applicants who wish to use an employer certificate as proof of address when applying for a PAN card do not need to create the document themselves. A pre-defined format, known as Annexure-B, is available for this purpose. The employer must submit a certificate in this specified format, written on the original letterhead of the organisation or institution where the applicant is employed. Generic certificate formats are not acceptable.

How to download Annexure-B PAN form?

The Annexure-B form, or employer certificate for PAN application, can be downloaded from both the UTI Infrastructure Technology (UTIITSL) website and the Tax Information Network of IT Department (TIN-Protean eGov Technologies Limited) website.

On the UTIITSL website, you can find the form here.

Conclusion

In summary, an employer certificate is a valid document for address proof when applying for a PAN card, especially for those without other residential proof. The Annexure-B format simplifies this process, ensuring that the employer's verification is both formal and standardised.
