Proprietorship firm and body of individuals

Dear Shashi,

In case of proprietary concern, the PAN of the individual itself is the PAN of the proprietary concern.  There's no seperate existence of a proprietary concern, its just of form of carrying on the business by the individual in the name of proprietary cconcern. As you have said that the individual has PAN of himself as well as of his proprietary concern, it is illegal to hold multiple PAN's and you would be required to surrender one PAN to the Dept.

Coming to your point, it would be assessable as an individual and not as an BOI, because in case of BOI all of them shud be individuals.

Many thanks and I agreed with your view sir. But now the big problem is that what to do to get the refund of TDS amount which has been deducted from PAN of that proprietoship firm. If I file separate ITR for the firm then what form would be applicable and what status of the firm should I show i.e., Individual or any other?

Hi Agree with Shashi ..

Further wtih regards to the TDS deducted using Properitorship PAN card, as far as my understanding it is that the TDS certificate need to be corrected with the PAN of individual. And also the PAN obtained for Proprietorship need to be surrendered. 

You will need to surrender the PAN of the individual & file the return under the PAn alloted for teh propreitary firm.  This PAN would be one whihc you would be using going further for filing your I-T returns. you would be filing the reutrn by using ITR-IV as yours is a proprietary concern.

MANY THANKS
