The Taxation Officer
Income Tax Department

Sub: Challan correction from TAN to PAN for AY 2026-27.
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am writing this letter to bring to your notice that by mistake, the DDT was wrongly deposited under the TAN No. ABCD123 instead of the PAN No. ABCK1234 which means that the amount was deposited through challan no. 123 instead of challan no. 122.
Please find attached with this letter the copy of the challan for your reference. The challan mentioned above is unclaimed by assessee. Therefore, you are requested to kindly transfer the challan mentioned above from TAN No. ABCD123 to PAN No. ABCK1234 so that we can avail the requisite credit of the taxes.
Thanking you.
Sincerely,
Rita Ray
