Quick Summary
If your PAN card has been deactivated by the Income Tax Department, the correct procedure involves writing a letter to your Assessing Officer (AO) requesting reactivation. You should include a self-attested copy of your deactivated PAN card and execute an indemnity bond. While some suggest applying for a new PAN, this can lead to penalties if you hold two cards. It's advisable to contact your jurisdictional AO or an ASK Centre for assistance.

Apply for a new Pan card
But I want to my old PAN number
otherwise lotoff of documentation problem .
Is it possible to get my old PAN no ..by applying new PAN Card
Rules dont provide for such renewal of pan.
you will have to take new pan
Above replies are totally incorrect, Mr. Sourav and Virendra if you don't know the answer then don't give wrong answers. Did you know that If you have two Pan Card then there is penalty of Rs 10000.

Mr. Naresh Ji You just go to income tax department and contact your jurisdictional officer. or take the help of your nearest CA, they will help you.
Agree with Mr. Ankit , above replies by both the persons are wrong, that is not a solution, if they don't know the answer why are they replying, just for fixing their spot at no 1.

sir , you have to visit the department.
Thanks a lot
Your welcome sir
1. Write a letter addressing the Assessing Officer (A.O.)for reactivation of deactivated card
2. Attach self attested copy of the deactivated PAN card
3. Execute the indemnity Bond in favour of Income Tax Department
Ankit ji if you know the answer so well then why dont you give relevant section and rules providing procedures for renewal of PAN.

In absence of specific rules for renewal we had no option but to create our own solution. and i doubt if penalty for two PAN will attract in this case.

merely diverting the querist back to department is not a technical answer
Mr Virendra I am not diverting , that is a practical solution ok, I am practicing CA, I never give wrong advice.
Penalty may attract if you have two pan Card. Card is deactivated that can be activated by department.
There is no section in Income Tax Act
to activate PAN card which is deactivated
Income tax department has deactivated more than 11 lakh duplicate and fake PAN cards, there might be instances where a genuine PAN was deactivated
Find the reason for deactivation.
file a letter with AO regarding reactivation of same, if it's wrongly deactivated.
Pan Card Can be reactivated if deactivated. Please contact ASK Centre of your locality.
