The Sub-Registrar Office did not insist on Aadhaar or a passport for the registration. We highlighted the PAN Number in our application PANNumberinApplication Below is an image of the registered Power of Attorney document, where the PAN number has been highlighted for reference, demonstrating its acceptance during the registration process.
