  1. Sir,
    I have submitted in income tax office to deactivate and cancel the duplicate pan which created in instant epan. It’s been a month since no update on deactivation. How long will it take usually.

  2. Sir,

    We have a PAN card which is taking unknowingly of type “HUF”. Can you please let me know the process of converting this into an “Individual” PAN Card type? Should we first cancel/Surrender “HUF” and then apply for “Individual ” PAN card or we can apply new “Individual” and cancel the “HUF” after that? Can that be done through online ?

    Banks are saying its not accepting “HUF” PAN for some transactions.

    Thanks

  9. Dear Basavaraj,

    I got my PAN card when I was working during 2006-2008 in India. Then I was abroad and came back to India and joined a new job in Nov 2019. Meanwhile, I got my Aadhaar card in 2018. Now I would like to check the PAN details. I checked in the following link: https://www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/home

    It shows: “PAN is active but the details are not matching with PAN database.”

    Now, when I have used https://www.tin-nsdl.com/ to link my Aadhaar to PAN it worked and in https://www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/home, it shows that “your PAN is linked to your Aadhaar number XXXX XXXX ….

    Now, not sure how to update my PAN in the PAN database.
    Kindly advice.

    Thanks
    Arnab

  42. I was applying for PAN through the NSDL website. And in the last step of Authentication of Aadhaar for PAN Card, the website is not working. It shows the message ‘The request is unable to be processed. Try again later’. I tried several times and it still isn’t working. I sent a complaint to the website, but still nothing has happened. My application is incomplete. What do I do?

      1. Okay. Actually I tried it right now and it worked but after the OTP was send there was no space to enter the OTP and after trying 4 times. It showed that “You cannot proceed with E-sign.Kindly proceed with generating physical application and sent the application to the mentioned address in next page”. So I wanted to ask that, I paid for the application via net-banking and the payment was done. So if I go with the physical application to a centre, WILL THEY CHARGE ME AGAIN? As I have no acknowledgement receipt.

  43. I have 2 pan numbers issued on my name. The first pan card not delivered on my address and I don’t have the acknowledgement number.
    Then I have applied for the 2nd time and got my pan card but I don’t have any information (pan number, acknowledgement no. ). Now when I check my pan in e-filing site it shows it is rejected. If I want to surrender my 1st pan no from where to get my 1st pan no.

  59. Hey Basavaraj,

    After reading your article and submitting the OTP as mentioned above, it showed me as “no records found” but when I tried from the “My Profile” tab under e-fillings website, it is showing Status as “Active” under the Jurisdiction Details. I hope this is fine. Can you please confirm?

    Thanks in advance.

  60. Hello sir, my mother applied for pan card and not received yet. It’s been already 5 months since my mother applied for the pan

  61. Hi there

    I filled all my details & got the OTP.
    After submitting the OTP, it shows no records found
    What does that mean???

    1. My fellow citizens , please dont worry if it shows “no records”, that clearly means atleast there are no duplicate pan cards on your number. Moreover this is either a huge hoax or it is the technical failure of the site. This is just to make people link aadhar with PAN, forcefully. My father and my relatives are paying taxes for last 30 years as far as I remember and for them too its showing NO RECORDS. This is a blunder of high misquality.

      1. Hi,

        I have checked the status. People who don’t have surname in PAN should put their first name in the surname and keep first name blank.

        It is working this way.

        Thanks

  62. Hi sir, im suffering from a problem. My mother’s pan and aadhar card date of birth details wrong, i tried online for correction, but in the end money deducted twice but nsdl website flashing message u can not proceed..i failed twice, what should i do, i have submitted photo, sign, evry document…poor me and worst system…pls guide me..i will b thankful

      1. I got the pan card but while I’m searching it in e filling site after entering my details it shows that “no matching records found ”
        Why I’m getting like that?

          1. HI Sir,
            i surrendered my pan card.when i approach to the assesment officer they said they have already processed request.but in the system its still showing as active
            pls advise
