I am holding PAN Card No. AIZPK4262E since 2003 and have been filing my income tax returns on this PAN since AY 2003-04.
Around one and a half to two years ago, when I tried to register my PAN for E-Filing, I noticed that another PAN card numbering ADOPA3985H is being shown as issued in my name. I was unable to file the returns online and had to file manual returns. But my TDS deductors were able to credit the TDS deducted by them under this.
I, at this juncture, approached the Income Tax Directorate, Grievance Cell with my petition, which has given the procedure for restoration.(Copy attached)
The letter clarifies that in the de-duplication process, the card with no AIZPK4262E had been deleted and another card numbering ADOPA3985H, (issued some time in 2001 but not known to me) is retained. The letter also clarifies that after following a prescribed procedure PAN Card numbering AIZPK4262E, which I am using, can be restored and PAN card with no. ADOPA3985H can be deleted after due verification.
All my TDS and other PAN related affairs are done through AIZPK4262E.
I was unable to create the e-filing id and unable to view 26AS.
To top the confusion, AY 11-12 IT returns were not accepted manually under AIZPK4267E and the office boy who took it filed it under ADOPA3985H.

There must be some mistake.It is doubted that both the PAN are in the name of same person as in such case the 5th letter of PAN would be same. In this case for AIZPK4267E it is K and for ADOPA3985H it is A. Have a continuous follow up with the IT Department for rectification of the error.
