| Dear Akash,
Here, the Non resident is liable to get a PAN number in India as per Section 139A(5A) of Income Tax Act. However, in case he has not applied for the same then the person from whom he is receiving the money will be treated as his agent u/s 163(1)(c) of the Income Tax Act. Further, as per Section 160 (1)(i) he will be treated as representative assessee of the Non resident and will have to comply with all the provisions as if he is the assessee. Therefore, in the instant case, you will be required to file his ITR also. It may be noted that if you are not having the PAN of the Non Resident then you have to make deduction at the rate of as high as 20% as per the provisions of Section 206AA (1).
Should you require any other clarification, please feel free to revert.

| Dear Akash,
You are required to file return only in respect of the income which he is earning from you as you cannot have the knowledge about his income from other person in India. However, if you have the knowledge, then you are liable to file the return in respect of the whole income.
Further, the documents which are required can be known by clicking the following link http://www.utitsl.co.in/pan/pan_nri.html.
Further, if the non resident is not providing the doc then in such case you have to deduct the TDS at the rate of 20%.
