<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">There is a change
     in the amount of PAN application fees. It was Rs. 96 in the past and now
     it is increased as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="circle">

<br /></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The other change in
     norms is regarding presenting the documents in support of the personal
     details. As per the old norms, the applicant was supposed to submit the
     copies of documents like identity proof and address proof. But the CBDT
     has announced, in a recent statement that:<o:p></o:p></span></li>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 2.25pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">“Every PAN applicant has to <u>submit
self-attested copies of</u> <b><a href="http://www.taxfinanceinfo.com/2014/02/know-your-pan-permanent-accout-number-incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in.html">Proof of Identity(POI)</a></b>, <b>Proof of Address (POA)</b>

copies of identity proof, address proof and date of birth have to be attached
with PAN application form”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 2.25pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 2.25pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">So as per the statement the
applicants are required to carry with them the self attested copies of the
above documents along with the originals of the same. The Copies will be
verified by the TIN Facilitation centers to check if there is any variation in
the copies as compared to that of the original. <u>The original documents will
be given back on the spot soon after the same are verified.</u> This rule is
applicable from 3<sup>rd</sup> February, 2014.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<ul style="margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">According to the
     oppositions, the requirement of the original proofs for proof of identity,
     proof of address and date of birth for application of <a href="http://www.taxfinanceinfo.com/2014/02/know-your-pan-permanent-accout-number-incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in.html"><span style="color: red;">PAN</span></a> will create many
     problems. All the applicants will not be comfortable for providing the
     original proofs to the consultants so, they will not be able to provide
     customer satisfaction.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Such submission of
     original proofs will also create problems for foreign applicants as they
     will not be able to visit the country at the time of applying for the PAN
     and can not trust consultants and handover their original proofs to them.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">Along with the
     above limitations, it will prove advantageous for the Income Tax
     authorities that accurate and realistic database can be maintained as
     compared to fake and unrealistic data obtained sometimes from the
     fraudulent applications.<o:p></o:p></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The new norms will
     make in line all the documents of the people and the identity of all the
     person will be clear and without any fraud.<o:p></o:p></span></li>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Your PAN Database such as your name, date of birth, contact address,
etc. are used for communication with you for the matters related to income tax.
Details like your income tax intimation, refund order, etc. is sent to the
address given by you while applying for the PAN and the same exists in your PAN
database.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">So it is recommended that whenever your residential or communication
changes or you shift from one place to another, you must amend your PAN
database by making application through the form for 'Request For <a href="http://www.taxfinanceinfo.com/2014/02/know-your-pan-permanent-accout-number-incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in.html"><span style="color: red;">New PAN Card</span></a> or/

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">As per the latest news the above norms are put on hold by the

<span lang="EN-US">In the other statement, it was also stated that the old procedure of
PAN application and allotment "shall continue". It can be clearly
seen that the new norms are literally criticized and so due to such pressure

application. But it can be said that the new norms will be in practice in short
duration. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
