Cancellation Of PAN
How to Surrender PAN Card?
While Indian citizens are not advised to surrender the PAN card they are using as it can be used as a valid document for identity proof, foreign nationals who are leaving the country and will not be paying tax have no use of a PAN card.
Such individuals can surrender their PAN card by writing a letter to the Income Tax Assessing Officer under whose jurisdiction they fall, mentioning the reason for the PAN surrender.
The PAN card will then be canceled and the holder can surrender it to the tax official.
There are times when individuals or entities are required to surrender their PAN cards, for a number of reasons. The process for surrendering your PAN card depending on the reason for it is listed below.
