Struggling with EPFO Registration Due to PAN Invalid Error – Any Solutions?

Dear all,

When I am registering my establishment with EPFO, I am getting this error (PAN invalid), thus halting my further proceedings to complete registration. My PAN is in my company's name.

You may have to select the appropriate type of firm, such as a proprietorship, partnership, limited company, or society, etc.

Make sure to consider the specific requirements and implications of each type before making a decision. Each type of firm has its advantages and disadvantages, so it's important to choose wisely based on your business goals and circumstances. Proper research and possibly consulting with a legal or financial advisor can help you make an informed decision.

Dear,

Where do we have to select the firm type? I have attached a screenshot. Nowhere is it mentioned that we have to select the firm type. Please let me know how to proceed further.

I am facing the same problem. I run a private limited company. When I try to register using my company PAN, the PAN shows as invalid. If I try using an individual PAN, there is no problem.
