Income Tax Department — To activate PAN

Address:

Pudukkottai, Tamil Nadu

I am a permanent resident of Pudukkottai Town, Pudukkottai District of Tamilnadu and an employee of TN State Govt. owned Public Sector Organization. I am an IT assessee attached to Ward 1 of Income Tax Office, Pudukkottai. My PAN is ADUPG6949B. I have been filing IT returns through PAN ADUPG6949B till Assessment Year 2013-14. TDS out of my salary being remitted by my employer through its PAN AABCT7737M. For the FY 2013-14 a sum of Rs.42, 490/= was deducted from my Salary as TDS and remitted by my employer to IT Department. Form 16 has been issued by my employer in this regard. For the FY 2014-15 also TDS deducted from my salary has been deducted and remitted quoting my PAN ADUPG6949B. While E.filing for the Assessment Year 2014-15 on 31.07.2014, I could not complete the filing due to non existence of PAN ADUPG6949B. Verification of PAN ADUPG6949B shows the result “PAN Does not exist” Hence, I searched the verification of PAN by Name and Date of Birth (VISWANATHAN GOPAKUMAR / 05.05.1962) I found a PAN ADUPG8611L in activation which is not allotted to me / available with me. In a hurry, I made a blunder mistake of completing the E.filing with PAN ADUPG8611L for the Assessment Year 2014-15. I have received an intimation u/s 143(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 vide Order dt.03.12.2014 to pay a sum of Rs.47, 880/= (Income Tax of Rs.42, 494/= and interest of Rs.5, 385/=) Recently I got information from my employer that TDS certificate could not be generated for the FY 2014-15 due to non existence of PAN ADUPG6949B. In these circumstances, please advice me to restore my original PAN ADUPG6949B so as to enable me to file fresh IT return for the AY 2014-15 and to proceed with filing for the AY 2015-16.
