08 August 2017 Hi I in utter shock as to how my sweet country operates. I welcome any suitable and logical explanation to this query.
I hold a PAN Card. I have been using it since more than 15 years. Obviously for e-filing of income tax every year also I use this card. It is updated in all of my bank accounts, salary account; etc. Basically to cut short I have used this single card at all places where a PAN card is needed. 7 Aug 2017, I saw an article that many pan cards have been deactivated/deleted as government is waking to the various menaces. The article also gave a link to check if it is active or not.

On following the instructions it asks for additional verification, then the page loads showing a different PAN number against my name, the ward and the status as active. This PAN number i have never held in my life, nor applied for it, nor used then from where did it come and what am I to do with it. To cross check I immediately logged in to e-filing website with my ORIGINAL OLD PAN. I was able to file my this tax with the same thing seamlessly. Now what am I to do? Apply for correction/fill forms/pay fees/wait for new pan card to come/ update it in all of my finance providers. What sort of horrible exercise because the government suddenly realizes that there could be some thing wrong. This country is riddled with people and policies which are downright horrendous.

08 August 2017 are you aware of FISHING or hoaxing?
Log on to your PAN through the official SECURED website of your riddled country.... https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/
Go to profile settings....(On extreme right hand side), click on my profile.
If the details are correct, dont bother to do any changes.
And hence forth never ever try to entertain any such pan verification site. Ok?

09 August 2017 Dear Amol,

I thank you for your response, but the website in which I have seen this information in the official website where we file income tax. I am generally very cautious where I enter my data, Respectable news outlet carry the news very responsible illustrating the scheme on how to find the status. I have used only government website and also I have used a OTP on my registered number. I have not any any 3rd party website for checking the status. Please comment on this as to how justify this.

09 August 2017 Ok.
Please understand that your name is such an UNCOMMON (?) name in your country.
If possible, try to forget the instance. (I am sure you would NOT have taken the screen shot of the page that was downloaded against your name and OTP?)
