Many times we face this issue that the PAN of deductee is either showing ‘invalid’ or ‘Not available’ in database or else we made some mistake at the time of writing PAN in TDS return. So at that point we are unable to download certificate from TRACES which is the only way of obtaining authorised TDS certificate. Hence today I am covering this issue to enlighten you all as how we can correct PAN n our TDS return?
What is the impact of Invalid PAN in TDS return:
The impact of such errors is significant in nature, in view of following:
1. You would not have been able to generate TDS Certificates for deductees with such PANs. In case, you have issued TDS Certificates outside TRACES, they will not be valid.
2. In view of CBDT circulars 04/2013 dated 17.04.2013, No. 03/2011 dated 13.05.2011 and No. 01/2012 dated 09.04.2012, it may kindly be noted that the TDS Certificates downloaded only from TRACES Portal will be valid. Certificates issued in any other form or manner will not comply to the requirements referred in the Income-tax Act 1961 read with relevant Rules and Circulars issued in this behalf from time to time.
3. Correct TDS Credits in 26AS statements to the taxpayers will not be available and they will not be able to avail the same, while filing their Income Tax Returns.
4. As per section 206AA of the Income Tax Act, the tax is to be deducted at a higher rate, in case of “Not Available/ Invalid PANs”. Therefore, Short Deduction, including Interest is charged, if the tax has not been deducted at higher rate or Section Rate, whichever is higher, as per the provisions of section 206AA.

Dear sir,
A Have Deducted Income tax through salary, then i have E file But Tax Deducted at source not matched what should i do now
This is in respect of a problem where the category of deductor has been wrongly selected in the drop-down menu of E-Tds return. The consoliadted files do not allow change of the type of deductor. Suppose by mistake a category was selected as Central Government instead of Stautory Body under Central Government.
What is the recourse available to the deductor?
I require TDS Credit details on PAN: AABAR6107P
Dear Sir,
