PAN Card Mandatory For Panellists

With  the launch of New Website ALL panelists (Existing and New Both) will need to attach the following to their SpeakAsia Account

• Id Proof - PAN Card
• Address Proof - The acceptable documents will be announced soon.

If you do not have a PAN Card yet, ensure you apply for it TODAY itself. It takes almost a month to get a new PAN Card done if there is no pending document or errors seen. Keeping this in mind, SAOL will be giving a relaxation period on one month after the launch of new website in order to attach your PAN card.

The communication on this will be seen soon, However, BizBasket advises everyone to apply for a PAN card now itself to avoid any kind of hassles.

Few FAQs on The PAN Card Requirement:

• I have 3 Main Panels, Will I Need One PAN Card Or Three ??
• First of all, if you have 3 Main Panels, then its mandatory that all 3 must be in 3 different names and profiles and not one. Hence, for EVERY Main Panel, One PAN Card IS Required. If you have 3 Main Panels then 3 PAN Cards will be required.

A Very Important Point To Note Here - Now, As Per The Current Rule From RBI, Even PayPal Users NEED To Attach Their PAN Card To Their PayPal Account. They CANNOT Withdraw Money If They Do Not Attach Their PAN Card. This RULE Is From RBI

PS: Very Important

Many people have this mis-conception that SAOL allows 1 Person to have 3 Main Panels. All, Please make note that SAOL has NO WHERE, EVER said that 1 person can have 3 Main Panels. Infact its written on the website as well that "A panelist can thus have a maximum of 1 + 9 sub panels."

Please check e-zine subscription Section under FAQ - http://www.speakasiaonline.com/faq.aspx

One person can have 3 Main Panels is only and only due to misselling and lack of correct information.
