FAQs :
1. What should I do if I have more than one PAN?
If you have more than one PAN, you should surrender the additional PAN(s) by logging into ITD website at incometax.sparshindia.com/pan/newPAN.asp. Alternatively, you may fill and submit PAN Change Request application form by mentioning the PAN which you wish to retain on the 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/ies should be submitted for cancellation along with the form.

2. Can I have more than one PAN?
No. Obtaining/possessing more than one PAN is against the law and may attract a penalty up to 10,000. Therefore, it is advisable not to obtain/possess more than one PAN.

3. Do I need to apply for a new PAN when I move from one city to another?
Permanent Account Number (PAN), as the name suggests, is a permanent number and does not change. Changing the address though, may change the Assessing Officer. Such changes must, therefore, be intimated to ITD so that the PAN database of ITD can be updated.

One can intimate change in address by filling up the form for Request for New PAN Card or/and Changes or Correction in PAN data. This form can be submitted at any TIN-FC or online at NSDL-TIN website.
