PAN not matched with CBDT, GST Application filing error and solution

GST

Since the enrollment application went live, many issues, one particular issue that has been reported in significant numbers was pertaining to PAN validation error while applying for GST registration.   After submitting the application user gets the below email from the GST portal:

This is in reference to the Application for Enrolment of Existing Taxpayers submitted at the GST portal. It is observed that the details of the following PANs are not matched with the CBDT database. Kindly fill in the details as per PAN details and resubmit the Form. Details of the PANs are as under:

1. (mismatched PAN)

2. (mismatched PAN)

In view of the above discrepancies, the Form is considered incomplete. Please resubmit the Form with the correct details.

In short, it says the PAN card data that you have entered on the GST portal does not match with the CBDT(Central Board of Direct Taxes) database. whereas the user says they have entered the data as per the PAN card only.

What is CBDT Database?

The CBDT database means the “Central Board of Direct Taxes” database.  Thus, the CBDT database’s full form is “Central Board of Direct Taxes”. This is the database where every individual PAN card details are stored in the Income-tax records.

Thus, whenever any website connects to an income tax database for verification of PAN card details, the Income-tax site checks its record to know, whether the details received are matching with its existing records or not. If the details do not match then the website where you entered the details will say CBDT database pan mismatch, PAN does not exist, and CBDT database mismatch.

PAN not matched with CBDT database – Solution:

We are providing herewith a simple solution to this problem.   It is possible that the name that appears on your pan card is slightly different than on the income tax database site.  Therefore first try to find out what is there in the database:
1. Go to the Income-tax e-filing site (Click here)

2. Click on “Verify your PAN details” (click here)

3. Enter your PAN Number, Full Name, Date of Birth, and Mobile Number and Click on Continue.

4. If the details entered above are matching with the income tax database, then you will see a “PAN is Active and the details are matching with PAN database“. On the other hand if not matched, then you will see a message saying Not matching.

How to write full Name?

Ans: Please see the below format for entering the full name.  You must enter the first name in the first place, the middle name in the second place, and the surname and the third place.  For eg. in the below scenario, the Full name is Manish Rajesh Kumar.  

Therefore if your PAN card is printed with all three names then you should enter them in the same sequence.  In case your PAN does not contain a middle name then do not enter it on the website.

5. Enter the date of birth, Status, and Captcha code, and hit the submit button.

6. If you have entered the correct details, you will see the below screen which states your data matches with the income tax database.   Therefore you should enter these details in the same sequence on the GST portal.   

7. If you see the below message then it is clear that you are not entering the details as per the database of income tax.  Therefore try entering the correct details till you see the above message.

The above details are stored in the income tax database in the following manner.   However, the income tax site does not display this data in the following manner.  Therefore the only way is to verify the PAN details as explained above.

8. Above details exist in the CBDT database.   Now check your information entered on the GST portal.  kindly ensure that the data entered on the GST portal must match exactly as above in the CBDT database like First name, Middle Name, and Surname.  For eg., if the middle name is blank on CBDT then you should keep the middle name blank on the GST portal also.

Once you match your data as per the CBDT, a PAN error should not arise on the GST portal.  If you are still facing the same issue then contact your PAN card center and request them to verify the details.  It might be possible that your PAN card did not print all details as in the income tax database.

Please write in comments if still, the problem persists.  we will try to resolve if any further issues arise related to this article.

PAN Details Not Matching CIN/DIN With MCA Database

You may face the below error in 2024 on the GST portal.

PAN details are not matching with income-tax database or cin/din not matching with mca database or aadhaar not matching with aadhaar database. email sent with details of error. please rectify and re-submit form on portal.

The above error occurs because now the GST portal verifies your GST registration Data with MCA, Income Tax, and UIDAI portals also. Therefore, you must ensure that the details entered are the same on all these portals. In case there is a variation of details on any portal, you will have to amend and update your details, so that whenever the GST system communicates these details with the above portals, the data can match.

Similarly, you may also face the error “seems cbdt services are unavailable for pan validation, request you to please try after sometime. if the problem persists, please contact helpdesk.”

This may happen because the system may be busy or the server is down currently. Hence you need to wait until the problem is resolved. Please note that you can not expect that the portal will flash the message that the income tax server is down or the MCA site is down. However, it is a known fact that such errors occur due to server issues.

    “PAN 4th Character not matched”

  18. Hello Mr. Sahay
    It clearly says name 4th character mentioned on PAN is not matching with the data entered on GST portal. kindly check the 4th character of First name, middle name or Last name. Also, ensure that there is no blank space at the end of name entered.

  19. 1) PAN and Legal Name is not matching with CBDT database. Please submit PAN and Legal Name after validating with CBDT database
    After go to e-filing
    2)PAN Is active but details are not matching with DATABASE.

    1. Hi Jayanthi

      Please be Ensure that “Legal Name of Business” is exactly matching with the income tax site as shown in above process. Do not confuse with the name printed on the PAN card. The GST system validates the details entered exactly with the income tax site. Therefore, first name should be exactly in the first field only and like wise middle name and surname. If there are any mismatches, you will have to either change the details on GST site or change your income tax details.

      Regards

  20. hello sir.when iam trying to verify the pan details..it is showing pan details not matching with pan database even though i entered correct name.i dont understand where is it going wrong.please respond sir.

    1. Hi Kusuma

      I believe you have verified PAN details on income tax filing website as explained above. After verification kindly note that you see a message “PAN is active and matching with PAN database”. If you see message “PAN is active but the details are not matching with PAN database” then you should try to enter your full name in vise versa way, until you see matching message on the income tax site.

      Whenever there is a match you should note, what you have entered and same way you need to enter on gst site later. Please note Full name on income tax site = First name + middle name + last name. You may also get in touch with your nearest income tax dept. and get it confirmed.

      Regards

  23. Sir while applying Proprietorship GST registration, As per CBDT database Pan name is Guzzar Naveen Vidya
    But as per adhar it’s Vidya GN

    If I mention Vidya GN under promoter name and authorise person name showing error Name not as per PAN ,
    if I put Guzzar Naveen Vidya, Aadhar authentication is failing due to name not as per adhar
    What to do?

    1. Hello, For registration application, the name must be as per CBDT database/PAN. For aadhar authentication, the system will send an authentication link on mobile number & email (as given in registration application on GST Portal), of Promotor/Partner, and Primary Authorized Signatory which are selected upon submission of registration application.

      The aadhar authentication process does not check the name details. Hence, if you face such issue, kindly raise a ticket on the GST portal. Also, you can get in touch with your jurisdiction superintendent.
