TIN facilitates a PAN holder to view its Annual Tax Statement (Form 26AS) online. Form 26AS contains
- details of tax deducted/collected on behalf of the taxpayer by deductors/collectors
- advance tax/self assessment tax/regular assessment tax, etc. deposited by the taxpayers (PAN holders)
- 1. Online Registration of PAN by PAN holder
- 2. Verification of identity and authorisation by TIN-Facilitation Centre
- 3. View Tax Credit
Registration & authorisation is a one-time activity. This can happen in two ways:
- a) PAN holder can personally visit any TIN-FC of its choice and get his PAN request authorised; or,
- b) PAN holder can request any TIN-FC to visit him at an address specified by him and get his PAN authorised.
There is no charge for viewing the Tax Credit online, however, the TIN-FC may charge for authorization of PAN as follows:
- a) TIN-FC will charge Rs.17 (i.e. Rs.15 + service tax) for authorisation of PAN registration request, when the PAN holder personally visits the TIN-FC.
- b) TIN-FC will charge Rs.110 (i.e. Rs.100 + service tax) for authorisation of PAN registration request in those cases where the PAN holder opts for the TIN-FC to visit him.
