Update PAN details to avoid blocking of e-filing account by the Income Tax Department :
This is in continuation of the earlier announcement dated 24th August 2016 (Annexed at A) on updation of PAN details to avoid blocking of e-filing account by the Income Tax Department. The issue of deactivating of the e-filing accounts of the members of the ICAI by the Income Tax Department on account of the mismatch in ‘Name’/ ‘PAN No.’ / ‘Date of Birth’ in the Income Tax records and the records available with the ICAI was taken up with the Income Tax Authorities on 26th August 2016.
Income Tax Authorities has temporarily activated the e-filing accounts which were blocked on account of the mismatch in the ‘Name’ to provide another opportunity to the members of ICAI to remove the discrepancies in the records available with the ICAI and the Income Tax Department. To remove the above said ‘Name’ discrepancy in the affected cases as informed by the Income Tax Department, an email indicating the name of the member as per ICAI records and as per the records received from the Income Tax Department has been sent to all the concerned members. The said email content is annexed at ‘B’ below for reference. The affected members can also remove this discrepancy through the following link:

Kindly note that the members who are not yet reported under this category of ‘Name’ mismatch by the Income Tax department will not be able to access the link.
As regards the discrepancies pertaining to the mismatch in the ‘Date of Birth’ and ‘PAN Number’, concerned members are being informed through email to indicate the correct details along with supporting documents and the steps as warranted by the office will be taken. However, as of now these accounts will remain blocked.
The members who have not yet provided their PAN details for ICAI records can submit the same through the following link:

Members may also file their complaint/ grievance at [email protected] and/or [email protected] for resolving the same.
