What to do if PAN is disabled by Income Tax Department?
The Permanent Account Number (PAN) has a ten-digit alphanumeric number supplied by the Income Tax Department to the "person" who is applying for a new PAN CARD either to whom the department assigns a number without any application.
The PAN assists to link every transaction of "individuals" to the department.
These transactions like as filing of income tax returns, payment of taxes, TDS / TCS, correspondence, etc. It has been noticed that the Income Tax Department has been disabling all income tax assessment PANs with more than one PAN at any time in the past.
Unfortunately, there are some barriers to PAN card deactivation. For example, by deactivating the PAN that the Income Tax Department used for the purpose of filing its income tax return, the assessee will no longer be able to file his return.
Once the PAN is deactivated by the Income Tax Department, the e-filing login is blocked, and therefore the assessor will not be able to respond electronically to the online communication/information/notices of the Income Tax Department or file income tax.
What steps you can take if your PAN is disabled by the Income Tax Department:
If your PAN has been deactivated by the department, you are subject to the Income Tax Department for activating your PAN, under whose jurisdiction you will need to communicate a letter to the AO.
Submission of relevant documents in AO
After submitting the letter mentioning the activation of your PAN, you will attach the relevant papers related to PAN activation. The following papers are attached
Copy of PAN card used by the assessor regularly for filing an income tax return
2. A copy of the ITR V is a copy of the PAN filed with the Income Tax Department for the last three years
3. Payment bond in the name of the Income Tax Department. An indemnification bond relates to a security bond to assure that the contract will be fulfilled.
Deadline to reactivate the pan by category
The time is taken by the Income Tax Department to reactivate the PAN after submitting a letter to the office is about 15 working days.
It is noted that the department’s online information/correspondence whether the e-login is blocked:
Where the re-login has been blocked and the assessee has to respond to the online information/correspondence of the Income Tax Department, the assessee has to go to the AO which includes the assessee under his jurisdiction, and as a result, his concerns have to be resolved and there is a need to apply for PAN card re-issuance.
In addition, the resource may submit a manual against the investigation/correspondence by the department until the PAN reactivation process is filed. Note that once the PAN is reactivated, the evaluator's obligation to respond online and account for the department's investigation will be fulfilled.
Penalty for keeping multiple pans
Any person cannot get as well as hold more than one PAN card at a time. Whether you belong to more than one PAN card at any one time, you will have to hand over the extra PAN. It is a legal offense to hold more than one PAN card at a time and it can be penalized due to the law that the Income Tax Department can issue.
Under Section 272B of the Income Tax Act, 1961, a person may be asked to pay a fine of Rs. 4,000 / -. 10000 / -if Multiple PAN registered in one person's name.
