First of all Know about PAN:
PAN is a 10 digit alpha numeric number, where the first 5 characters are letters, the next 4 numbers and the last one a letter again. These 10 characters can be divided in five parts as can be seen below. The meaning of each number has been explained further.
1. First three characters are alphabetic series running from AAA to ZZZ
2. Fourth character of PAN represents the status of the PAN holder.
• C — Company
• P — Person
• H — HUF(Hindu Undivided Family)
• F — Firm
• A — Association of Persons (AOP)
• T — AOP (Trust)
• B — Body of Individuals (BOI)
• L — Local Authority
• J — Artificial Juridical Person
• G — Government
3. Fifth character represents first character of the PAN holder’s last name/surname.
4. Next four characters are sequential number running from 0001 to 9999.
5. Last character in the PAN is an alphabetic check digit.
Nowadays, the DOI (Date of Issue) of PAN card is mentioned at the right (vertical) hand side of the photo on the PAN card.
Secondly the right reply to your query is given by Ritika Pundir.
Proprietorship Firm is not alloted separate PAN No. as income from the business is solely of the proprietor and return is filed in the name of the proprietor. Also if for any reason double PAN No. are alloted then you are required to immediately surrender one PAN No. intimating to the IT department.
Thirdly I again agree with Ritika and subodh
according to the details given by you it is PAN No. of Body of individuals and not a proprietorship Firm. Income will thus be assessed treating it income of Body of Individuals.
Fourthly, I would like to correct Ram Babu.
The tax bracket of 30% explained by him is for Partnership Firm and not Proprietorship Firm.
And as i had said already there is no proprietorship firm assessed and income is assessed in the hands of Individual or say Proprietor so tax bracket is not an issue.
Thus i hope it has become quite clear and simple for you now that you will have to file return of BOI and thereon claim TDS refund in the PAN No. of Body of Individuals.
