Frequently Asked Questions (Faq)

  • Are there any benefits of obtaining a Permanent Account Number [PAN] and PAN Card?

    A PAN number is mandatory for numerous financial transactions such as opening of bank accounts, availing institutional financial credits, dealing in securities, purchase of high-end consumer item, foreign travel, transaction of immovable properties, etc. Furthermore, it is also required for any transaction with the income tax department. A PAN card also facilitates photo identification which is accepted by all government and non-government institutions in India.

  • I have lost my PAN card but remember my number. Will I face any problems without my card?

    Transacting with the income tax department is not a problem, but since PAN card acts as a means of photo identification, you could face problems while dealing with some other organizations.

  • I have been allotted two PANs. Which number should I use?

    You may retain any one of the numbers and surrender the other through a letter addressed to your jurisdictional Assessing Officer. Minimum capital of Rs. one lakh (it can be used for business whenever required and does not necessarily have to be kept in bank/company deposit all the time).

  • Is it illegal that I have been issued two PANs & I do not surrender one of them?

    Yes. It is illegal to have two PANs and the penalty for such offence is Rs.10, 000/-

  • By mistake I have been using different PANs for different purpose like one for my DMAT account and another for filing my Income Tax return and payment of taxes. How do I set this right? Or is using single PAN preferred or multiple PANs?

    It is preferred to use a single PAN instead of multiple PANs. So, in the above case, you should continue using the PAN submitted with income tax department & inform the institutions about this PAN where you have used other PANs.

  • Is it mandatory to file return of income after getting PAN?

    Filing a return of income becomes mandatory only when the assessee has a taxable income. Having PAN does not mandate a person to file return of income when he/she does not have taxable income.
