The procedure for PAN allotment process will undergo a change w.e.f.03.02.2014. From this date onwards, every PAN applicant has to submit self attested copies of
1. Proof of Identity (POI),
2. Proof of Address (POA) and
3. Date of Birth (DOB) documents
Further person is also required to produce original documents of such POI/POA/DOB documents, for verification at the counter of PAN Facilitation Centres.
The copies of Proof of Identity (POI), Proof of Address (POA) and Date of Birth (DOB) documents attached with PAN application form, will be verified vis a vis their original documents at the time of submission of PAN application at PAN Facilitation Centre.
Original documents shall not be retained by the PAN Facilitation Centres and will be returned back to the applicant after verification.

From were can we get original circular no. 11 dated 16.01.2014. As per press release dated 30th January 2014 the aforesaid procedure for PAN allotment has been kept in abeyance till further orders. But at Patna the NSDL centers are not obeying this press release as the same has inadvertently dated as 30th January 2013
Then what about the online filing of PAN application. How to deal with online filing as in that case we dont need to go to tin door step. Who will verify the POA POI DOB documnets.
