We are a charitable & welfare association (regd under Society regn Act 1860). We applied for a PAN card under the category of 'AOP',the closest category to our status,we thought, in Form 49A and received the PAN. But our a/c says with this PAN,you can NOT claim any Tax exemptions available to a Society nor can we apply for 12 A regn ! We are told that we should apply for a PAN under the category of 'AJP' ie 'Artificially Juridic Person' instead ! We are confused and worried about receiving the wrong PAN again ! Are we really an 'AJP' ? Kindly advise !

Sir, that means there is difference between PAN of an AOP with Society Regn and an AOP with out Society Regn , although 4th digit of PAN in both cases is ‘A’ ! Thks in advance !

Dear Sir, Apologies first for another clarification pl ! We got a PAN allotted as an AOP last year. This year we registered ourselves as a 1860 Society. 1. How do we change our status in the IT data base from an unregistered Association in to a Society registered under 1860 Act ? 2. Our date of Incorporation has now changed(due to the new registration as an 1860 Society) and would this necessitate a correction to our old PAN Card ?

Thks Sir, before applying for the new Trust PAN, , do we have to return the old AOP PAN or we can return the old one immediately after receiving the new one ! Tom
