Gurgaon: Haryana govt has instructed all deputy commissioners (DCs) to ensure “immediate submission” of pending permanent account number (PAN) details in property registration deeds above Rs 30 lakh.DCs have been asked to direct tehsildars to verify the available data and ensure that all pending PAN details were submitted to the income tax (I-T) department on an “urgent and priority basis”. The order comes in the wake of the I-T department having raised “pendency” in tehsil offices in Gurgaon and Faridabad districts.
The direction to the DCs — issued by the revenue and disaster management department — was given after the I-T department sought PAN information for all buyers and sellers involved in deed registrations from 2019-20 through 2024-25. The letter was issued by financial commissioner Sumita Misra. The DCs were directed to closely monitor compliance.The I-T department had earlier identified a pendency of data for tehsils, namely Ballabhgarh, Tigaon, Dayalpur, Palwal, Kharkhoda, Wazirabad, Manesar and Farrukhnagar, particularly for 2019-20. Wazirabad, Manesar and Farrukhnagar are in Gurgaon district.Consolidated transaction data was already extracted from the Web-HALRIS (Haryana Land Record Information System) portal and shared for action. “Tehsildars were instructed to access the data through their CRO (Circle Revenue Officer) login and identify cases where PAN details were not entered despite the transaction value crossing the prescribed limit,” said a senior officer of the revenue department.In 2025, the department conducted a survey at the Wazirabad tehsil and estimated tax evasion amounting to over Rs 5,000 crore each year after it discovered that PAN of buyers and sellers were not entered into the software during registrations. In 93 tehsils across 22 districts, PAN was not fed into the software during registrations. According to norms, details of all registries for properties that cost over Rs 30 lakh must be shared with the I-T department. The tehsil office must provide the names, PAN and Aadhaar card details of the buyers and sellers.To prevent tax evasion, the I-T department asked the tehsil offices across the state to collect the specified financial transaction statement (SSFT) from parties involved in property transactions exceeding Rs 30 lakh during document registration. Submitting SSFT to the I-T department is obligatory under Section 285BA(1) of the Income Tax Act 1961.
