Sometimes for Income Tax related work we need to meet the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer or simply Assessing Officer. Assessing Officer is related to your PAN number. This article explains how to find the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer.

Assessing Officer of Income Tax
An Assessing Officer going by name is a person who has assesses and technically he has jurisdiction(means: official power to make tax decisions and judgements for that assessee) to make assessment of an assessee, who is liable to tax under the Act. The designation may vary according to the volume of income or nature of trade as assigned by the Central Board of Direct Taxes(CBDT Board), the department which deals with income tax. He may be an Income-tax Officer, Assistant Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, Joint Commissioner or an Additional Commissioner. To know more about Assessing Officer one can read incometaxindia.gov.in:Central Board of Direct Taxes
Why do we need Assessing Officer : The income-tax laws are complicated and taxpayers are flooded with instructions, guidance notes, and Circulars from the CBDT to enlighten them about the way laws are to be interpreted. However, the reality is that tax assessments involve both subjective and objective considerations, and that the Assessing Officer is a quasi-judicial statutory authority who has to safeguard the income department’s interests, and at the same time, display objectivity in assessments.
When does one need meet the assessing officer :
- When one has fillen Challan 280 wrong online. Our article How to Correct Challan 280 discusses it in detail.
- When one gets the notice from Income Tax Department ex for outstanding demand , for scrutiny or to follow up refund and enquire on the reasons for it not being processed. . Basically when you need a human to present your case.
However, if no action is taken by the assessing officer, the taxpayer can move up the hierarchy and write to the jurisdictional chief commissioner with copies of previous letter/s written to the assessing officer and with a copy of the tax return filed.
It is not necessary for you to personally meet the Assessing Officer. Your lawyer, Chartered Account (CA) can get details or submit the papers on your behalf. (Please correct me if your experience has been different)
Find your Jurisdictional Assessing Officer
Jurisdiction of the Assessing Officer is the geographical area for which Assessing Officer can assess requests. It is typically associated with the PAN or Permanent Account Number. Permanent Account Number (PAN), as the name suggests, is a permanent number and does not change during lifetime of PAN holder. Changing the address or city, though, may change the Assessing Officer. Such changes must, therefore, be intimated to nearest IT PAN Service Center or TIN Facilitation Center for required correction in PAN databases of the Income Tax department. These requests will have to be made in a form for Request For New PAN Card Or/ And Changes In PAN Data.

It is common that people shift to new places for work or other reasons. Due to change in address there are many aspects that need to be updated and modified for filing of tax returns. Now say for example, you shifted to Bangalore from Mumbai due to your new job. Your old jurisdiction was Mumbai. However for future correspondence with the Income-tax department, you are required to change your jurisdiction as Bangalore. In such cases, the taxpayer is required to inform the existing jurisdictional Income-tax officer about such change by way of written application. Many times your Jurisdiction will be changed automatically.
Changing address details in PAN database does not automatically change your jurisdiction. You have to write to your current assessing officer regarding your change of place and request him to transfer your case records and jurisdiction to appropriate AO. Once both the officers are satisfied about proposed transfer, the old Assessing Officer will initiate transfer process and migrate your PAN to the new AO.
For any genuine reason like change of address, or ill-mannered assessing officer you can apply to the income tax authority for the change in assessing officer. Please note that
- Six (6) copies of Application should be filed with competent authority.
- Copy of application should be sent to concerned AO, CIT and Addl./Jt.CIT.
- As per section 127(4) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 income file can be transferred at any stage of proceedings even if Assessment is Pending.
- When a file is transferred then Demand or Refund of Tax can be collected/refunded by new assessing officer. Now a days Demand or Refund is processed by Central Processing Centre, Bangalore.

Hi,
My question id regarding form 26QB incoorect date of deduction, for which I received a default notice for late deduction, this is for the purchase of a property I did in Noida in Aug 2014, I received the notice on 5 Feb 2016, I have corrected the date of payment and the date of deduction to be exactly matching by filing the correction online for form 26QB without digital signature, which is a genuine scenario, so my queries are below:
1) Do I need to meet the jurisdictional AO in person to represent the case or Should I hire a CA to represent my case.
2) I have purchased a property in Noida(U.P), and my PAN Details show the jurisdictional AO to be of Ward1(4),Mysore;Area Code: KAR;Building Name: Shilpashree Building, MYSORE,
but on the other hand in my correction request it reflect the AO Detail to be:
TDS Ward-3(3), Bangalore HMT Building, Bangalore.
Also, the default notice that is served to me is from the following address:
TDS CPC, Aaykar Bhawan, Sector – 3, Vaishali, Ghaziabad, U.P. – 201010
So, I wanted to know that should I sent the acknowledgement for correction along with the proof I had by post to the address from where the notice is served or the Bangalore address assigned to me in AO Detail which is Bangalore HMT building.
3) Also, please let me know that since the default notice has been served to me in feb 2016 and I have filed for the correction on 25 April 2016, so will there be any extra interest that I need to pay for this period of delay.
4) I did understand from the above posts that since the property lies in Noida,it comes under the AO jurisdiction of Vaishali, Ghaziabad, and since my PAN number lies in AO jurisdiction of KAR, and this is why they have assigned me the AO of Bangalore HMT building.
It will really be of great help if you please assist to me in the current situation.
Thanks
Mohit

Dear Sir,
I applied for change in address in PAN card from Delhi to Bangalore & was
hoping that IT Department will also change my A.O. address from Delhi to Bangalore. But even after change in address they have not change A.O. details. Is this O.K.? My worry is that when I file my ITR this year from Bangalore, my A.O. will be from Delhi & this may cause problems for me if I have to visit A.O. due to some reason as visiting him/her in Delhi will be very inconvenient for me. Kindly suggest. Thanking you. Best regards, RAKESH
Dear Sir,
I do E-filing every year and same for 2014_15. But for this AY, my return keep showing transferred to AO and when I write mail to AO, there is no response to mails. Is there anyway to contact them over phone as I am NRI not able to meet them in person. Please advise.
Dear sir,
I do E-filling 2014-15 but my return keep showing transfer to AO .Please advie me what will I do.
Hi,
Nice article! I was googling too much for similar problems that I am facing now.
Actually, I have got a demand request by ITO Ward 1(1) AO in November 2011 via CPS intimation letter. At that time, I was in Delhi and therefore could not visit the AO in Bangalore. Accordingly, I sent a letter enclosing all relevant documents (form 16, ITRV etc.) to claim that the demand is not correct. I was quite sure about this as I found out that I have wrongly filed two ITRs for AY 2007-2008 and AY 2008-2009 for the Form 16 of 2007-2008 financial year. Means, I should have filed ITR only for AY 2008-2009. I believe the demand is raised for the wrong filing of ITR for 2007-2008. Whereas, for AY 2007-2008, I have filed against form 16 of financial year 2006-2007 using CA service. I had all the details and accordingly submitted it the AO via courier. I infect talked with her over phone and explained the situation. She said she will correct the matter.
However, yesterday I got an another CPC intimation letter for adjusting my refund for AY 2015-2016 against outstanding demand of Rs. 80000 for AY 2007-2008. Thus, I come to know that my previous case is not closed yet. I used e-filling website and send the response “Disagree with Demand” stating that my previous rectification request. However, I am not getting further response from the AO.
Meanwhile, I checked the current Jurisdiction office and found that it is changed from the previous one who has raised the outstanding demand. Earlier it was ITO Ward 1(1) and now it is ITO Ward 4(2)(4) Bangalore. I have got the current AO officer email id and send an email too claiming my previous request and providing all necessary documents. As usual, I am not getting any response and I am least hopeful that there will be any response. I am not sure how to take this matter forward as I cannot visit Bangalore now. Your idea or suggestion will be quite helpful.
Regards
Saumar
Sir ,
Please give some input on this
Sir,
My ITR status for the assessment year 2015-16 shows “ITR transferred out of CPC for jurisdictional Assessing Officer at income tax office for processing ” . My AO office is in chennai .And the date of transfer to AO is 23/9/2015. Still I didn’t get any updates from them . So what l have to do next? Do I want to meet my AO In-Person?or do I need to submit any documents to them?
Kindly reply,
Thanks.
I plan to move from Delhi to Bangalore. For change of address, I must fill form “Request For New PAN Card Or/ And Changes Or Correction in PAN Data” available on TIN-NSDL website. Will this automatically change AO code in PAN data applicable to my residence in Bangalore? If, not, how can request to change AO code in PAN card?
Go to NSDL site and change the address on PAN Card first.
Thereafter you apply to the assessing officer for transfer of your assessment records to the new A.O. having jurisdiction over your case. Copy of the letter must be send to the present CIT and would be CIT with supporting evidence of address proof. The jurisdiction will be changed.
Dear Sir, Thank you for very useful information provided by you in the article. But, I want to find contact details for CIRCLE 4(3)(1), BANGALORE & searched in PDF file at link http://www.incometaxindia.gov.in/Pages/jurisdiction.aspx for state Karnataka. The link does not provide details for the ward (CIRCLE 4(3)(1), BANGALORE). Is this the most recent link or some new link has been provided by Income Tax Department? If yes, kindly provide me. Thanking you. Best regards, RAKESH
Dear Sir,

Dear Sir/Madam, I have a quick query.The change of address, for communication by I.T. department, can be done online by logging on to I.T. website then why is it necessary to make change in address in PAN data by filling the Request for change in PAN data form? I was hoping that A.O. details would be changed automatically on change in address in PAN data. Kindly comment. Thanking you. Best regards, RAKESH
If common sense was so common.
Logically when everything is centralised and digitalized u can expect that when u change address in income tax profile it should be automatically result into ur pan data base.
But; seems everything is not and 100% digitalization is on the way …right now u have to change address in pan by way of fresh application of change in pan data base.
It is there because; everyone can add whatever address they prefer in their login I’d and department is not going to check whether it is correct or not.
In addition to that they have single point mechanism where they can communicate with assessee as per address mentioned in pan application.So; in cases where u have left place and you are moving temporary u should not miss any communication by way of physical delivery of documents.(helpful In those cases where assessee don’t have knowledge of Email and all stuffs and especially in cases where you have been called for scrutiny and you are being served notice or any other stuffs.)
So; digitalization is on the way and you will be asked to produced documents online and same will result into change in pan database and will result into change in ward details automatically.
So right now..Have to apply for change in pan details physically and have to check ward details every time you apply for change.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thanks for your very detailed reply.
In the last para, you have mentioned “So right now..Have to apply for change in pan details physically and have to check ward details every time you apply for change.” One quick question. I could not understand “and have to check ward details every time you apply for change.”. Kindly explain this part only & kindly do not get angry for
asking this. Best regards, RAKESH
It means which ward you want to change to when you apply for change.
Thanks for asking questions. We do not get angry infact we are happy that you have taken efforts to clarify your doubt.
Looking forward to mores question.
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thanks for your comment on my query.
I plan to apply for change in PAN in March. Will certainly contact you after I receive new PAN.
Best regards. RAKESH
Dear Sir,
As I mentioned in my last post dated 4 February 2016, next week (March end) I am going to visit TIN-FC to change address in PAN card. Kindly confirm that this should change my AO from Delhi to Bangalore (my PAN was made in Delhi & now I live in Bangalore). Thanking you. Best regards, RAKESH

Hi,
one my TDS in AY 2015-16 was put wrong AY as 2014-15. I saw it later and followed with deductor to get this corrected and all in vain. While filing AY2015-16 ITR, I was advised to use this as arrier. My ITR is processed now and CPC didn’t consider this amount and put a demand note. Thsi TDS amount is showing as unmatched fund in AY14-15.
Can you help next step how to fix this.
First you can reject the outstanding demand. Our article How to Pay or Reject Outstanding Income Tax Demand under Section 143(1) explains it in detail
My tax refund status for assessment year 2010-11 is showing like “Conduct to jurisdictional assessing officer”. E-filing Acknowledgement Number 190867050220211 dt 22-02-2011. I am staying DDN. So I cannot go personally to assessment office. you are request to my IT return for the year 2010-2011 to my account. Pl confirm my e mail ID is wasuraju@gmail.com
I am 63, voluntarily retired from pvt. service due to illhealth in Aug.2010, hence no regular income except bank interest & a meagre EPFO pension. I see an outstanding Tax Demand for AY 2010-11 for Rs. 40140 (Tax & computation sheet Rs. 47820). I had filed return then through a consultant at Bhiwadi (Alwar, Rajasthan). Now since 2010 I am at my native place Kolhapur (Maharashtra). When contacted he says that my TDS deducted by Post Office Rs. 28321, (cert. dtd. 28/08/2009) seems to be the reason, which was shown in the return, but PO might not have taken action at their end. Can it be so ? Under the circumstances what can be option for me ? I can’t visit ITO personally due to vast distance & my health limitations.
Will you pl. help me in the matter as to what should be done in the case.
Thanks & Regards

Earlier Post office used to deducted TDS only for Senior Citizen Scheme. So please check for which scheme is TDS deducted.

1. I want to know jurisdictional ao code those who have no pan yet? 2. A person earns income one in island and overseas. Both the incomes are taxable. How he files his return of income – whether he has to file ITR seperately in two countries.

Hello Kirti,
My refund for FY 2009-10 is still pending. The ITR was filed manually in Delhi as I used to live in Delhi. Now, I have moved to Bangalore but I still file ITR with the help of my CA at Delhi with whom I am associated for over 20 years. He sent a letter to my AO at Delhi in November 2014 to send Intimation under 143(1) for the return but received no reply so far. Kindly suggest, is it advisable that I send reminder to AO (IT Department now makes E-mail of AO available under Jurisdiction details)? Do AO respond to such E-mails? Your reply will be very helpful for me. Thanks in advance.

And after that i send signed copy of ITR V to cpc Bangalore they send my ITR TO AO in ward 13 pune jul 15. My AO is not processed the return till date, what can i do for the same… please help me

You would have to meet the AO along with all your relevant documents and get it processed.
Nice article Kirti.
I have few queries –
My jurisdiction is WARD 5(3)(4) Bangalore. I am unable to find mailing address of my AO. I have already sent an email with all the details but didn’t receive any reply from them. So I want to send them mail through courier/speed post.
In case of mailing all the documents how will I receive acknowledgement from them.
Thank you in advance.
Employees of private companies whose name begins with any of the letter of alphabet ‘N’ to ‘S’ fall in ITO, typically fall in WARD-5(3)(4) .
You would know the building and email id from incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/e-Filing/Services/KnowYourJurisdictionLink.html
Then google the name of building for address.
For example FROM HMT building in Bangalore I got following details
+(91)-80-23550500, 23550501, 23550520 +(91)-80-23550551 No.57, 3rd & 4th Floor, HMT Bhavan, Bellary Road, Ganga Nagar Extension, Bangalore – 560032 (Map)

Hello
I stay in Thane, Maharashtra for close to 30 years and has been paying Income Tax for many years. Till IT processing was centralized I used to file return at Thane office and deal with refund etc at Thane offices of IT. Since the time centralized processing started I see my ward office has been shown as Madurai. I have no connection with Madurai and wonder as to how I can correct this and get my ward office shifted to Thane as earlier.
Pls advice..
Thanks
Vijay
Sir please check the details on your PAN Card. The Ward office is typically associated with address mentioned in the PAN Card.
If that is so, You can update your PAN card details.
Thank You. Address at the time of application was a Thane address. Unfortunately PAN card (it is the old laminated one) doesnt show the address. I could see ward etc only on the Income Tax web site.
You can login in to your Income tax e filing website and check the address associated with the PAN by going to Profile Settings -> My Profile.
Another reason why your Ward number can be different from your home address is if you are salaried employee and your company address is not of Thane
Thank You. Just checked the site and it is the Thane address. Like I mentioned earlier I am salaried employee with a Thane address for the 30 years and my employers are/were all having Mumbai as their registered office address. Still wonder as to what prompted them to attach me to a ward office in Mudurai!!
I have worked for a company then I resigned from that company,now I want to withdrawl pf from my previous employer.But I have some doubts in filling form 15G,e.g. (7.assessed in which ward),(17.present ward),(10.AO code ),(21.Jurisdiction chief commissioner of income tax),(18.residential status)

I have an outstanding tax demand raised because of paying Tax for the wrong A.Y. I recently moved to Hyderabad from Bangalore. My A.O is in HMT Building Bangalore. I won’t be able to go to Bangalore for a few months because of my current client work. Can I write a mail to the A.O instead with all the details?
Is your change of place temporary?
If you would be in Hyderabad Do you want to change the assessing officer?
You can also contact a tax consultant and give him power of attorney to represent you in your case.
Hi- i filed return in oct 2014 for AY 2014-15 which was rejected subsequently due as defective u/s 139(9). I corrected the mistakes and filed return again as per the process stipulated (efile in response to notice under section 139(9)). I filed the ITR in april 2015 & the same got processed in april 2015.
Now in sep 2015, i got notice for the return filed in oct 2014 u/s 143(2) and it asks me to be present in front of assesment officer. Ques i have is:
1. is it for the defective return i filed in oct 2014 or for the correct return i filed subsequently in april 2015 (notice says return filed in oct 2014 but even the return i filed in april 2015 u/s 139(9) has oct 2014 as original return date )
2. I am in pune. assesment officer is in gurgaon. how to chnage the meeting location to pune?
3. what all documents assesment officer may ask?

This whole procedure will help you to transfer the case. 143(2), notice is being sent for Scrutiny Assessment which is sent within 6 months from end of financial year in which return is filled. It is initial procedure for Scrutiny assessment.

I am a senior citizen. From my superannuation benefit I deposited some amount in Post Office Senior Citizen scheme. I am now getting interest and the same is used for my living expenses. Post office had deducted tax on my interest but had not filled the return with Income tax resulting tax credit is not visible on AS 26. on realizing that i won’t get tax refund on the tax deducted at the time of filling return I took up the matter with Post Office but the people there was not ready to understand as he was constantly telling that he has discharged his duty by providing me Form 16(manual). I tried to contact call centre and i got a response that I have to meet A.O. I am really not able to go to meet him personally as i am indisposed off. Kindly advise me what to do?
Friends please help me in my matter. I have seen outstanding tax demand of Rs 27560/- for assesment year of 2011 12. I am shocked after seen it. I am salaried person. The tax deducted for that period was Rs18187/- as per TDS. By mistake I have submit the status DEMAND IS CORRECT. My AO is Rajpura Punjab. Presently I am in Chennai. What did I do friends now. Please mail me on manavvarkhan@gmail.com.

Thanks in advance.
Please check that TDS shown in form 16 and shown in 26 AS is correct and tallies. If no, contract your DDO/disbursing Officer to upload the correct TDS in income tax site. secondly take a print out of return filed by you. check that TAN of your employer has been correctly mentioned.
Thanks For your input

I had deposited Rs.21880/ in PNB as Advance Tax for AY13-14. By mistake the bank reflected for 12-13 instead of 13-14.I was informed about it on 23.5.15.

It seems no action is taken by them as my this year’s refund has been withheld stating that I have this outstanding demand. Now I am shocked to see that my AO is no Pathankot II bot is Ward 48 (2) Range Code 60 Delhi ..Who changed it, when changed or why changed no one knows, but my case remains pending and so is my request at Pathankot ward II.where I had been filing the mannual returns .Now I have been e filing for the last two years.

Hi,
I got a Income tax demand from income tax office this year. On examining I got to know that in my self-assessment challan a wrong AY was selected due to which the tax amount is not considered.
Currently I am staying in Bangalore & my PAN card is issued from Mumbai.
Can anyone tells what to do now to correct the challan? Do I need to visit Mumbai for this?
Thnaks
Same issue here! My jurisdiction is in Delhi and I am here in bangalore. Please update if you find solution.
Hi,
I am not able to locate my Jurisdictional Assessing Officer- DEL/W/77/1.
Can someone help me locate.
Regds,

Pathetic Income Tax Department. Pathetic babus.
What the shit is indian govt. I have changed my address but my assessing officer still remains the same…
Do I need to visit my old city for this?
I don’t know when the world is online, why this can’t be done online….?
Also my PAN has my old address.
Some ppl said, that I need to write to my assessing officer, can I write to him over email and where can I get his email address now?
Can someone please help me in this regard?
As per Income Tax Rules, you are liable for just filing of your ITR. Who will assess your return its a department internal matter. Now Ques arises that in which ward you will file your return. It will decide according to your residential address or your employer. In online filing its not mandatory to fill ward etc.
You can write to AO abt your change in address and transfer of file.

What a pathetic, unprofessioinal agency this Income Tax Department is.

For anyone, who is planning to go to HMT Building, You can check in this number 080-23550038 for Enquiry, Before Proceeding there.
Sad to hear that and thanks for Info.

Hi Kirti,
I really liked this article as it explains everything so nicely. The only thing is that, I guess the incometax website has changed as I dont see the “List of Buildings” when I select Karnataka in the “Locate Field offices” on “www.incometaxindia.gov.in/home.asp” website.
I recently figured out that I have outstanding Tax Demand since 2010 (I never received any intimation from IT Dept). Since Until 2011, I used to file manual IT Returns through some CA, I cant request this Tax Intimation 143(1) online.
I used to be in bangalore at that time but no longer in bangalore. Could you please let me know if there is a way to handle this problem remotely ? May be through some CA (I dont have access to the CA who filed my Return that time)?
Any help/suggestions in this matter would be really helpful.
Thanks and Regards
-Ravi

Good one Kirti. I like the way you articulated.
Coming from a fellow financial blogger it means a lot. Thanks Suresh for encouraging words.

Most of the outstanding demand in case of salaried individuals is due to non deposit of TDS by employer.
Based on my experience I can say it is mostly due to Form 26AS not matching our TDS etc.
And also because somehow the online data does not reflect the submission(physical/online) esp during transition stage from paper to electornic

Outstanding demand is not always because non deposit of TDS. It is because TDS return not filed properly or PAN errors, or defective TDS challan.
@Ramesh :- Contact ur CA. As procedure is complicated.
@admin :-
You broke some cardinal rules of Department visits 😀
Rule 1 :- Never visit Assessing Officer directly.
Rule 2:- Let your CA visit Department.
they only deal usually with CAs.
I don’t agree with the statement Mr CA. The Assessing officer was handling the CA and ordinary people in same way (Go and talk to my income tax officer).
When I insisted on speaking to him, he was courteous though not of much help.
BTW I had gone with the CA,who handles our tax filing, as we did not want to be sure and don’t miss out anything.

They are all looking for bribe. Pathetic people, shame for human race on earth.
My tax refund status for assessment year 2009-10 is showing like “Unable to credit refund as the account number provided by you is incorrect”. To which address I need to send the actual details. I have sent multiple mails to tax dept. I haven’t got any response. I filed that return in Chennai, but now I am residing in Hyderabad. So I cannot go personally to assessment office.
So you advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
were your returns filed electronically or physically?
Are the bank details correct?
If physically need to go to Assessing officer. It might be that your assessing officer is in Hyderabad only. Check that given the link provided. You don’t need to go yourself. Find a trusted CA who can go on your behalf.
If electronically – verify your bank details and then you can request for Refund after logging in to income tax e filing cite and selecting My Accounts and then Refund Reissue Request.
please keep us updated.
