Frequently asked questions

Why does the employer need my PAN?+

Employers deduct TDS on salary and report it against your PAN in quarterly returns and Form 16. Without a valid PAN, TDS may be deducted at a higher rate.

What if I do not have a PAN yet?+

Apply for one immediately and give HR the acknowledgement number, then submit the PAN once received.

What if my name on PAN is different from my certificates?+

Declare the difference on the form and keep supporting proof. Payroll will use the name as per PAN for TDS matching.
