PAN error in Form 24Q

Dear Forum

Company paid salary to its employee who is a foreign citizen. The employee works remotely. As the employee does not have PAN in India, the payer company deducted TDS @ 20% under section 206AA of Income Tax Act 1961. Form 24Q submitted with both indian employees and this foreign citizen.

This is for Jan-Mar'26 quarter. For foreign citizen, the PAN reported in 24Q was 'PANNOTAVBL'

TRACES has issued a notice to rectify the PAN error and replace 'PANNOTAVBL' with valid PAN and file a correction return.

Please advise how to file a correction return. If not, how to respond or what will be the status of compliance.

Regards
