Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to handle TDS returns when PANs were inoperative at the time of filing, leading to a default 20% TDS deduction. The advice given is to deduct TDS at 20% when a PAN is inoperative, and to make a penalty payment of £1000 under challan code 500. Once the payment is confirmed, the Aadhaar and PAN can be linked to rectify the situation.

When a pan card in inoperative status, it means a person doesn't have pan card. So, you have to deduct TDS @ 20%

You have to make penalty of Rs.1000/- under challan code 500. It will atleast 4 days to confirm the payment. Then you can link their Aadhaar and pan.

Tds default for pan
