18 February 2021 Dear Experts,

We are a charitable & welfare association (regd under Society regn Act 1860). We applied for a PAN card under the category of 'AOP',the closest category to our status,we thought, in Form 49A and received the PAN. But our a/c says with this PAN,you can NOT claim any Tax exemptions available to a Society nor can we apply for 12 A regn !
We are told that we should apply for a PAN under the category of 'AJP' ie 'Artificially Juridic Person' instead ! We are confused and worried about receiving the wrong PAN again !
Are we really an 'AJP' ? Kindly advise !

19 February 2021 AOP is the right PAN you obtained. With this PAN you can apply for 12A registration.

19 February 2021 Sir, that means there is difference between PAN of an AOP with Society Regn and an AOP with out Society Regn , although 4th digit of PAN in both cases is ‘A’ ! Thks in advance !

19 February 2021 Yes, in both the cases it will be A. No difference.
After 12A registration apply for PAN you will be allotted PAN with T.

21 February 2021 Dear Sir, Apologies first for another clarification pl !
We got a PAN allotted as an AOP last year. This year we registered ourselves as a 1860 Society.
1. How do we change our status in the IT data base from an unregistered Association in to a Society registered under 1860 Act ?
2. Our date of Incorporation has now changed(due to the new registration as an 1860 Society) and would this necessitate a correction to our old PAN Card ?

Thks in advance, Johnykutty
