Important:
Submission of a PAN Card is mandatory for opening an account with FYERS. Without it, your application cannot be processed.
What If?
| Scenario | Guidance |
|---|
| I only have Aadhaar but no PAN Card | You must apply for and link a PAN Card before proceeding |
| I submitted another POI without PAN | Your application will be rejected; PAN is a mandatory requirement |
| I hold a professional membership (e.g., ICAI) | You can use the membership ID card as a supporting POI, but still need to submit your PAN Card
