An assessee may have been allotted multiple PAN Card. The multiple PAN card may have been allotted to the Assessee for many reasons i.e. He may have applied multiple times for allotment of PAN and every time he has been allotted a PAN card or may have inadvertently allowed multiple PAN card by Income tax Department, NSDL or UTI. Assessee who have more than one PAN should immediately Apply for surrender of additional PAN number(s) allotted to them as having more than one PAN may make them liable to a penalty of Rs. 10,000/-

Assessee can apply for surrender of PAN card by two methods.

1. Manually –

a. Write a letter to this effect to the assessing officer under whose jurisdiction you have been filing your returns. The letter must contain details such as your name, contact details, details of the PAN card to be retained, details of the duplicate PAN card(s) which you need to surrender, etc. Keep  the acknowledgement copy of the letter that you have filed with the I-T department, stating that you are surrendering your additional PAN. That is sufficient as proof of surrender and no additional confirmation from the I-T authorities is required. On receipt of the acknowledgement, there is no need for you to wait for intimation from the income tax department considering that the PAN submitted has now been cancelled by them. The acknowledgment copy of the letter submitted will more than solve the purpose.

b. Manually Fill the Form No. 49A for change/Correction in correction in PAN and submit the same at your nearest UTI pan centers or NSDL TIN Facilitation centers.

2. Online

a. Visit Income Tax Department website and go to its ‘Surrender Duplicate PAN’ option. Enter the relevant details of duplicate Pan and the one which you need to retain. Submit the form.

b. You can also surrender the pan online  by filing a application “change in pan data ” through UTI pan centers or NSDL TIN Facilitation centers.In application fill spare pan number in Last row of the Form.

    I have two pan numbers.

    My old pan card had lost (I don’t think I have used this ever before)
    As I did not remember my PAN number, I checked in the income tax portal but I could not find my PAN details in search with the surname and date of birth.

    Then i applied for new pan no. and was allotted to me.

    Much Later after 6 years in 2015 when I wanted to search my PAN number with name and date of birth I did not find my new number even , I tried giving my middle name as surname and found duplicate and the OLD one.

    Now i want to cancel my old pan number, but i don’t have the copy of that pan card.
    Please suggest the procedure to cancel the pan number.

    Applied for surrender the old pan number in

    The PAN number that I have at present was allotted to me in 1998 (30.12.1998)from which time I am filing my returns manually under that number till 2013.This time i tried to file my return online but to my surprise the process could not be completed. Thereafter i tried to enquire about the status of my PAN card no online.Iwas shocked to know that my Number is transferred in the name of another lady having same name and sir name as mine but all other particulars are different like fathers name DOB and address.This transfer has taken place from Indore to ITD WD 6(3), JPR as per CBN PAN based enquiry by me.I am working in central government department and presently posted at Bhopal. I hv filed my income tax returns against this PAN no since inception manually against ack of I TAX department AO Bhopal and TDS of my salary is also deposited by my employer against tis PAN no.
    I filed a written complaint with I tax department Bhopal on 9th october follwed by written reminder on 13nov 2014 but it seems they are not seriously taking up the matter.
    under the above mentioned circumstances i am not able to file my tax return and i am also not sure as to where my TDS amount is being credited.
    I request you to help me in solving the matter and particulars of my PAN CARD are as under
    Name Santosh Dhar PAN CARD NO AAUPDB115F Fathers name sh C L DHAR dob 05.01.1961 ao bhopal

    Is getting a comlaint no. for surrendering a PAN to issuing authority enough to be solved the problem of possesing two or extra
    PAN?

  24. manilal aheibam says:

    It’s very confused that many people’ve a request to the PAN issuing authority to deactivate his or her 2nd or extra PAN issued by the authority to them.And request that comes often are after tracing the missing one out from.The applicant doesn’t know whether the missing one’ll appear again or not.Here the question comes:Why’s the issuing authority issuing again to him or her for the second time.Doesn’t the issuing authority check-up whether the applicant’s already got a PAN or not,is he or she’s right person to get a new card etc. etc…before prossecing it. WITH HUMBLE REGARDS!!

  34. sweta says:

    Sir,

    I got my first PAN card in the year 1998 and I filled IT return under that no. upto 2003-2004. After that I changed my residence and somehow during that time I misplaced my PAN Card. One of my friend who used to help me in preparing my IT return, suggested me to apply for a new card with my new residential address. I applied and got the card with a new no but my DOB was incorrect. Since that was my second card and to avoid any further complication I didn’t apply / request for further correction. I opened a new IT file and I have been using that PAN no. for last 6-7 years. Very recently I have found my first PAN Card which was kept in one of my old bag during the time of my residence shifting.
    Sir, I have two questions. 1) Can I re use my first Pan No after so many years ?( becausebthat pan card has my correct DOB). If yes, 2) what is the procedure of cancellation of my 2nd Card.
    Kindly suggest what should I do.

  36. SESHADRI SRINIVASAN says:

    The PAN number that I have at present was allotted to me in 1998 from which time I am filing my returns under that number. I recently got a notification from the IT department that this number was allotted to some other person also and as he was the first allotee as per the TI department records, I have to re-apply for a new PAN number and use it. As tax has been deducted in the existing PAN number till date and if I update the new PAN number with my employer, the next three months tax will be with the new number. How is it possible to file the returns next year for two PAN numbers? What is the way forward?
    Thanks
