Filling out PAN in the Return of income is mandatory as per section 139A(5). Section 272B of the I T Act prescribes that in case a person fails to comply with section 139A may be asked to pay a penalty of Rs 10,000/-. You have filled the PAN , but the PAN is wrong . In this case , penalty is not imposable as per the wordings of the said section. However,you may intimate the A.O in writing that your PAN is wrongly given in the return by an honest mistake and that the correct PAN is as per the letter.
