SEBI CBDT ease PAN compliance for foreign investors after onboarding chaos over new forms

SEBI CBDT ease PAN compliance for foreign investors after onboarding chaos over new forms

SEBI and the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) have relaxed PAN-related onboarding rules for foreign portfolio investors after complaints that the revamped Income-tax Rules and March PAN forms made compliance overly complex across jurisdictions. The updates simplify documentation, contact disclosures and taxpayer identification fields. CBDT clarified that the authorised signatory name in the common application form is enough, liability is limited to PAN application, and optional fallbacks like using FPI registration number or “0000000000” for missing TINs are allowed.

It hit a record intraday low of 95.96, then partially rebounded after reported central bank intervention via dollar sales. The rupee still closed weaker at 95.76, and dealers linked momentum to a Bloomberg report suggesting potential tax reductions for foreign investors in Indian bonds, which may impact longer-term inflows.
