Hello members,

 Can anybody helpe me or guide on this, My ex-employer has given me incorrect form16 for FY2008-2009 wherein the PAN number mentioned is incorrect. I spoke to one of the CA and he said if I file tax returns with this form16 I cannot claim the refunds which is a big amount which i dont want to let go , since the PAN number is incorrect.He told me to file the tax returns anyway and see if i am lucky to get the refunds if the tax dept consider my case positively.Since he did not give a better alternative/solution for this problem , I have not filed the tax returns for FY2008-2009. I guess someone from lawyer community or experience CA can give a better solution/alternative to this problem.I am ready to pay the consulting fees for this problem if some experienced lawyers or experienced CAs provide practical solution.Currently I am living in chennai. Thanks Josh
