You must have the receipt copy (Taxpayer's Counterfoil) of ITNS 280. If there is correct PAN no mentioned in your Challan than you will most definitely get the credit. You will just have to produce the copy of the counterfoil. No hassles.

Than how can you say that bank entered wrong PAN. They may say that they entered the PAN as mentioned by you in your ITNS 280.
Option available:---
They payment must have been debited from your bank account. So its a proof of payment. Now see if the PAN no actually provided exists in IT Database or not i.e. the PAN was wrong or there exist such PAN and the amount got credited to that PAN. Then write a letter accordingly to your Income Tax AO. If PAN does not exist in IT database then correction will be made and you will get credit, if it got credited to some other PAN they will check the same from other party by sending a letter and upon confirmation of fact you can get the credit.
