We have a partnership firm comprising of 3 partners.
The PAN card of the firm, shows the actual earlier date of incorporation, when partnership deed was created with these 3 partners.
Now one of the partner had passed away (5 yrs ago) and thus the firm consist of 2 partners.
Now when we proceeded to register a new partnership deed (as required by financial institution in West Bengal), upon applying online, the application was rejected since the date of incorporation of the firm as per PAN card was much earlier than the date mentioned in the latest partnership deed (2 partners).
Kindly advice what should be done to rectify the error to register the partnership deed?
Can we only update the date of incorporation in the PAN card and then re-apply for partnership registration? Or do we need to apply for new PAN card for the firm?
Or anything else? If you can guide me with the steps.
Thank you.
