Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies that Form 16A cannot be generated via TRACES if the deductee's PAN is missing and a placeholder like 'NOTAP1234Q' has been used in Form 26Q. To resolve this, the deductee must provide a valid PAN. Subsequently, a correction statement for Form 26Q needs to be filed to update the placeholder with the correct PAN. Once the correction is processed by CPC-TDS, Form 16A can be successfully generated.

No.

Form 16A cannot be generated from TRACES if the deductee's Permanent Account Number (PAN) is not available and the placeholder value "NOTAP1234Q" is quoted in Form 26Q.

Compliance Recommendation
  • Ask the deductee to provide a valid PAN as soon as possible.

  • File a correction statement in Form 26Q to replace the placeholder PAN (“NOTAP1234Q”) with the correct PAN.

  • Once the correction is processed and accepted by CPC-TDS, the Form 16A can then be generated successfully from TRACES.

WITHOUT PAN BANK ACCOUNT CANNOT BE OPENED.

Pan is desirable.deduction is mandatory.
