A taxpayer is seeking advice regarding a jurisdictional issue with the Assessing Officer (AO) concerning the closure of capital gains for their deceased father. The AO initially accepted documents but then claimed the PAN did not fall under their jurisdiction, despite the PAN address being updated. The taxpayer was advised to obtain a receipt for the application and find the new Income Tax Officer's (ITO) address to submit a fresh application.

Dear Experts, I have applied for Form G for closure of Capital gains on behalf of my deceased father. Initially the AO accepted the documents and has asked me to submit an indemnity bond together with all the legal heirs authorising me as the sole representative. When I was there to submit the same, the AO says the PAN does not come under his jurisdiction, he will transfer to the respective jurisdiction as per the latest address in my father's aadhaar. Even though the address under PAN was updated the jurisdiction wasn't transferred. Kindly let me know if the contention of the AO is correct. I am having a hard time with the department. Kindly help.
