Quick Summary
The error "Major Head does not correspond to the Category of PAN" in Form 26QB usually occurs due to mismatch between seller PAN category and selected major head. For company sellers, PAN category and tax head must correctly match before correction submission.

Troubleshooting Form 26QB Error The error "Major Head does not correspond to the Category of PAN" typically occurs when there's a mismatch between the PAN category and the major head selected in Form 26QB. Possible Solutions 1. *Verify PAN category*: Ensure the PAN category of the seller (company) matches the one registered with the income tax department. 2. *Select correct major head*: Choose the correct major head that corresponds to the PAN category of the company. 3. *Check Form 26QB fields*: Ensure all fields in Form 26QB are filled correctly, including the PAN, name, and address of the seller. Major Head for Company For a company seller, the major head should be selected accordingly. You can try selecting the major head that corresponds to "Company" under the "Category of PAN" section. Recommendations 1. *Refer to income tax guidelines*: Consult income tax guidelines or seek professional help to ensure accurate filling of Form 26QB. 2. *Double-check PAN details*: Verify the PAN details of the seller (company) to ensure they match the records with the income tax department. By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully file Form 26QB.

What is the reason for correction?

I mentioned wrong amount in "amount paid/credited currently"(I put 5.34 lac instead of 5.40) due to this 55/- remaining to be paid and also I have mentioned wrong amount " total amount paid in previous installments", here instead of mentioning total, I have mentioned recent paid amount.

Check fourth letter in PAN. Ensure it is of a company.

Else, contact TRACES helpline.
