If the PAN in the TDS statement is wrong, the credit goes to that PAN or stays unmatched. The deductor must file a PAN correction statement. After processing, the credit moves to your PAN.

Analysis
Give your employer a copy of your PAN card and ask for a PAN correction in the relevant quarters. If the wrong PAN belongs to someone else, that person may have claimed the credit, which makes the correction harder, so move fast. Until it is fixed, your return will show a credit mismatch. Do not claim credit in your return that you cannot show in Form 26AS without keeping proof ready.
