[Resolved]  Pan Card — PAN Number - AGAPM3025D / AHUPM1634R

I am a salaried employee filing IT returns from last 10 Years. I have applied for a PAN Card in year 2000 at BARODA when I was working at a Bank. PAN Number AHUPM1634R was allocated to me.
From Baroda I have got transferred to Manipal in 2004. From there I have moved from Bank to another company at Mysore in 2007.

I have been filing my IT returns under that PAN for years. Last year (2009) I tried to file my Returns online, there to my utter shock, I found that my PAN number AHUPM1634R is not there and towards my name PAN number AGAPM3025D is allocated. I was having physical pan card of AHUPM1634R at that time .

Then I contacted TAX authorities thru’ NSDL for necessary correction. I requested for cancellation of AGAPM3025D card. But my request was rejected & I have been asked to contact Assessing officer.

I have contacted Mysore IT office – Jurisdiction - KAR/W/322/3, who confirmed that my PAN number AHUPM1634R is deleted and AGAPM3025D is allotted to me. And I need to apply for issue of AGAPM3025D card & deletion of AHUPM1634R card. I immediately did the same and got AGAPM3025D card & destroyed my old card.

I thought issue was sorted out.

PROBLEM: But to my utter shock once again, when I inquire online details of my PAN card (know your PAN) - PAN Number AHUPM1634R is getting reflected and I have been asked to contact Assessing office – GUJ jurisdiction.

This is ridiculous. I don’t understand the reason for this confusion.

In first instance, some other card (AGAPM3025D) was allocated to me without my knowledge & request. For no mistake of mine, I have been asked to delete my old card (AHUPM1634R) & apply for the new card. Which I did without any fuss.

Now when I thought issue was sorted out, once again I am back to square one where now I have AGAPM3025D card but your system shows old card.

Please look in to the matter and rectify the same at the earliest.

As I do not have AHUPM1634R card now with me, please delete that card and move all my records to my new card allotted by you – AGAPM3025D
