If by mistake you have applied two PAN or more PAN, you have to surrender all PAN Card except one. In other words you should retain only one PAN and surrender all extra PAN numbers that have been allotted to you.
The IT Department has issued the notices to all who have multiple PAN Card (Press Release No. 402/92/2006-MC) (08 of 2007) Dt. 12.02.2007. Might be you missed the notice. It is an offense to have two PAN cards. No worry, you have a chance to surrender another PAN Card.
First, you should check the validity of extra PAN, If it is valid then surrender all immediately as the following procedure. Check the Validity: https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/portal/register.do?screen=registerPage1
How to Surrender Extra PAN
- You can surrender extra PAN at the Help Desk, to the Assessing Officer, on department’s website www.incometaxindia.gov.in or Aayakar Sampark Kendra at 0124-2438000.
- You can also write to your range ITO or A.O. explaining, why you have extra PAN.
- You can also go to the TIN Center and fill the correction Form of PAN. You have to mention the PAN which you are using currently on top of the application form. All other PAN/s inadvertently allotted to you should be mentioned at item no. 10 and the corresponding PAN card(s) should be submitted for cancellation along with the form.
