NSDL e-Governance Infrastructure has terminated the agreement with Alankit Ltd as a Tax Information Network facilitator.

Alankit will no longer a facilitation centre service provider and cannot accept application for new PAN card, e-TDS/e-TCS statements.

The termination is on account of non-remittance of PAN applications fees and TDS filing fees collected from applicants/filers to NSDL e-Gov.

Anyone desiring to apply for a PAN card or for making ‘Change Requests’ in a PAN Card can visit any of the other NSDL e-Gov’s 17,209 centres across the country or use online services available on www.tin-nsdl.com, it said.

Also, e-TDS/e-TCS Statement filers can submit their returns/statements through any of the 4,142 centres across the country. A complete list of all NSDL e-Gov’s TIN facilitation centres/PAN centres is available on NSDL website.

A letter from the Editor


Dear Readers,

The coronavirus crisis has changed the world completely in the last few months. All of us have been locked into our homes, economic activity has come to a near standstill. Everyone has been impacted.

Including your favourite business and financial newspaper. Our printing and distribution chains have been severely disrupted across the country, leaving readers without access to newspapers. Newspaper delivery agents have also been unable to service their customers because of multiple restrictions.

In these difficult times, we, at BusinessLine have been working continuously every day so that you are informed about all the developments – whether on the pandemic, on policy responses, or the impact on the world of business and finance. Our team has been working round the clock to keep track of developments so that you – the reader – gets accurate information and actionable insights so that you can protect your jobs, businesses, finances and investments.

Our website and apps too, are updated every minute, so that you can access the information you want anywhere, anytime.
