I have been allotted 2 PANs. Is it a crime to hold two PANs?
Please help me in canceling one PAN I am looking for a digital solution.
Hey @Joe_Fernandes ,
Yes, it is illegal for one individual to hold 2 PANs. If caught, Income Tax Department can take legal action or put a financial penalty.
But you can always surrender one PAN. There is a provision for surrendering PAN online using TIN-NSDL website.
You may fill and submit the PAN Change Request application form by mentioning the PAN which you are using currently on top of the form. All other PAN/s inadvertently allotted to you should be mentioned at item no. 11 of the form and the corresponding PAN card copy/s should be submitted for cancellation along with the form.
I am from Karnataka. I want to know the nearest PAN center from my home. My father is in Kerela and I want to know nearest PAN center from my native home too.
I know I can use GPS for that but the answers are not very accurate i have tried it before and you guys are so active and have helped me out so much before I thought you would be able to help me maybe.
Thanks in advance.

How can I get e-pan as I don’t have a registered phone no and mail id? How can I register my mail and phone no. to my pan card and generate e-pan?
Hey @Joe_Fernandes ,
It is necessary to have registered both, the mobile number and the e-Mail address which can be done via change/correction PAN request application. Additionally, this facility is only available to users who have processed their latest application for a fresh PAN or for any change/correction in the PAN from the UTIITSL portal.

My name in PAN and Aadhaar do not match, hence I am unable to link it.
What should I do?
Hi Sakshi,
Go to the Income Tax Department website and fill up your name as per PAN, as per your Aadhaar card and your Aadhaar number.
If there’s a name mismatch, you’ll receive an OTP on the phone linked to your Aadhaar card to continue.
For date of birth mismatch, you can update either on the UIDAI website (for Aadhaar) or NSDL website (for PAN)
The ITD sent me a SMS saying my PAN is flagged, but my income was less than INR 2.5 Lakh for FY 2018-19, so did not file my ITR.
What should I do?
Hey @Sankalp_Joshi ,
In case you did trading or undertook high-value transactions, the income tax department - would get this information from the Annual Information Report filed by businesses and exchanges.
In case you do not have any high-value transactions, you can file a NIL return.
The due date to file belated ITR for FY 2018-19 is extended from 31st March 2020 to now 30th June 2020.

Hope this helps!
