Here’s a detailed explanation regarding your TDS PAN error and revised return filing:
---
### Your situation:
* You filed TDS Return (Form 26Q) for Q2 2013-14. * While filing, you mistakenly interchanged **two deductee PANs completely** (all 10 characters changed). * Deduction was made @10% under Section 194-H. * Now you want to file a **revised return to correct the PANs**. * Concern: Will any **penalty or demand** arise due to this PAN error, especially considering Section 206AA?

### Key points:
1. **Revised Return Filing:**
* Yes, you can file a **revised TDS return** to correct the PAN details. * The Income Tax Department allows correction of PAN errors via revised returns.
2. **Impact of Section 206AA:**
* Section 206AA mandates a higher TDS rate (20%) if PAN is **not furnished or invalid**. * However, here you have PAN but **mistakenly swapped two deductee PANs** (both valid). * Since PANs exist and deduction was at 10%, you are technically compliant for those PANs, but the **TDS credit might be assigned to wrong deductees** initially. * Filing revised return with correct PANs will rectify the mismatch.
3. **Penalty or Demand:**
* Usually, no penalty is levied just for correcting PAN details through revised returns. * If TDS was deducted and deposited at the correct rate (10%), no demand on higher rate (20%) should arise. * TDSCPC system usually processes revised returns to update records. * You may get notices if TDS credits are not matching, but they can be explained with revised returns.
4. **Precautions:**
* Ensure you file revised returns **as soon as possible** to avoid prolonged mismatch. * Keep documentation for evidence. * Communicate with deductees if needed to clarify corrections.
---
### Summary:
* You **can and should file a revised return** to correct the PANs. * No penalty or demand for 20% TDS should arise if actual TDS deduction was at 10% and PANs were valid but wrongly interchanged. * Section 206AA doesn’t apply because valid PANs were furnished (just wrongly assigned). * Filing revised return clears the mismatch and ensures deductees get proper credit.
