The argument of the clien is not valid.
If the person quotes wrong pan then he is liable for a penalty of Rs.10000/- Not giving the available pan also comes under the purview of wrong pan.
From the point of view of income tax department the assessing officer will verify whether the transactions has been reflected in the accounts filed by him. If those transactions are reflected then there is no much penalties other than 10000 which is mentioned above.
The department will come to know when the forms submitted by you to the bank reaches the it department.
