Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.

Find

If a deductor reported a payment against your PAN by mistake, it shows as your income and TDS. You should not include it, and the deductor should correct the PAN.

Provisions

Sec 199, Income-tax Act 1961; Sec 285BB, Income-tax Act 1961 (now Sec 510)

Analysis

Give AIS feedback that the information relates to another PAN or is denied. Write to the deductor using the TAN shown, asking it to correct the PAN. Do not claim the TDS or show the income. If it may be identity misuse, also check for other unknown entries and report it.
