Frequently asked questions

Why is PAN important for my salary?+

Employers deduct TDS against your PAN, and credits appear in your tax records only if the PAN is correct.

What if my PAN was wrong in earlier TDS returns?+

Payroll can file correction returns so the tax credit moves to your correct PAN.

Can I give HR my PAN number without a copy of the card?+

HR usually needs a copy or online verification to avoid errors. The copy is kept only in the payroll file.
