You can revise your return so that it also updated in Department record than give a request letter to concerned officer along with revised return copy.

We have given the request letter but since everything is online they have asked us to send mail to traces but that is not working..but traces have given us the foolowing reply: Your query related to PAN error default is acknowledged.
It is to inform you that the provisions of section 206AA apply at the time of tax deduction, which happens prior to the filing of statement. Thus, the deductor is expected to have a Valid PAN at the time of deduction. Only a typographical error is expected at the time of filing the TDS statement.
The demand in the hands of the deductors is being rectified in cases where the difference between the Invalid PAN and the Valid PAN is not more than 2 characters. This is being done in order to take care of the genuine typographical errors in data entry.
The rectification of demand in other cases is not done if the mismatch is more than two alpha characters & two numerics. Therefore, out of 10 characters in case of structurally valid PAN, 4 characters are being considered for rectification of demand.
