What is meant by PAN is in Migration status?

Once you shift to a different place and fall outside the jurisdiction of a particular assessing Officer, it is incumbent on you to intimate such authority of your movement and state the new authority who is to deal with your returns in the new place. Both of them should have full information. You should also furnish proof of your migrating to a different place. In such situation, the new authority based on your information seek migration of your PAN to his jurisdiction. Only then the system would accept alal values furnished, especially when things are recorded in WAN (Wide Area Net work). Once your Pan gets migrated, the new authority is vested with all rights to access your account for the purpose of finalisation of your assessment as also additional information about you, if any the Information Branch receives from the Annual Information returrn. This is about your investment etc,.m In other words, migration of PAN is mandatory for all purposes.
