Can you invest in India without PAN?

With immigration rules constantly changing with the pandemic situation, it is difficult to keep up to date with it all. For our NRI readers, we have started an immigration helpdesk, and our team of experts will address the most pressing issues.
*Please note that questions have been edited and/or clubbed so that we can address similar queries at once and that the answers are clear and relevant to our audience. Despite the fact that you don’t have any Indian documents, you could buy investments in India which are in the regulated space only. Technically, you should only need your OCI or passport at the minimum to start, and along with other documentation (including FATCA) as needed by the respective financial organization.
