Sir
1.As per my understnading PAN and TAN cannot be cancelled. But it can be deactivated on an application by the assessee. For PAN deactivation an application in the prescribed form viz"apllication for correction...." along with the original PAN card may be submitted through NSDL or UTITSL offices.
As far as TAN is concerned an application in plain paper stating the reason for deactivation may be filed before the Jurisdictional CIT (TDS) through the TDS officer.
2.The above course of action may be taken only after the confirmation of striking off.
