An applicant may apply for allotment of permanent account number through a common application form notified by the Central Government in the Official Gazette, and the Principal Director General of Income-tax (Systems) or Director General of Income-tax (Systems) shall specify the classes of persons, forms and formats along with procedure for safe and secure transmission of such forms and formats in relation to furnishing of permanent account number.”;
