• PAN updated in someone else account/ Got IT Notice

Dear Sir,

My PAN has been wrongly updated in someone Business current account and for the same reason I have got IT Notice in year 2019 for AY 2017-18 .

I have told ITD as well as Bank Manager to rectify same ,as it has been corrected by bank manager in the Bank records but notice has been issued by ITD for AY 2017-18 .

Bank manager has sent explanation of query of ITD directly to AO but in spite of this , ITD has passed Assessment Order .

Bank has given me a letter for wrongfully updating my PAN in someone's else account by mistake of bank staff,however ITD is not accepting this letter and has passed the assessment order .

Now I can see that in Form 26AS all the transaction of someone else Business current account is reflecting under my SFT even for next financial year ( AY 2018-19 ) too .

My query is, Can I go in Consumer court and hold Bank responsible for wrongfully updating my PAN in someone's else account.

Also how the Form 26AS detail under SFT will be corrected by Bank or by ITD as all the transaction done in Business Current Account is reflecting in my 26 AS under SFT and that too gives a tension again for all future FY..

My case is in CIT and your advise is required for explanation/documents to be given to CIT .

I am service class employee and I am getting Form 16 to claim my regular salary income..

Hi,

 

We can surely help you in representing your case before CIT(A). It seems to be a very strong case and there should not be any cause of worry. We have been handling such cases frequently.

 

With respect to your query on whether you can go to consumer court or not, you should consult a lawayer. A CA would not be able to help you in this.

First of all this won't be a very big thing and a letter from bank specifying this should be accepted by CIT(A) as proper explanation as AO are not very helpful and cooperative.

You can even ask the bank to provide the PAN of correct person.

Further yes you can file a case against bank and ask for damages or cost you had to incur because of their mistake.

 

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you.
