Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked
questions

Common questions about AO Codes for India. Find answers to help you with your PAN Card and Income Tax applications.

What is AO Code and why is it important?

AO Code (Assessing Officer Code) is a unique alphanumeric identifier assigned by the Income Tax Department. It determines your tax jurisdiction and ensures your PAN application is processed by the correct Assessing Officer. It's mandatory for PAN Card applications, TAN registration, and Income Tax Returns.

How do I find my correct AO Code?

Your AO Code depends on your address. For salaried individuals, use your office address. For self-employed or others, use your residential address. Search your city on our website to find all available AO Codes. If multiple codes exist, select based on your ward/circle.

What's the difference between Ward (W) and Circle (C)?

Ward (W) handles individual taxpayers with smaller income brackets and simpler tax matters. Circle (C) deals with companies, businesses, HUFs, and high-income individuals. For most individual PAN applicants, Ward codes are commonly used.

Can I use any AO Code for my PAN Card?

No, you should use the AO Code that corresponds to your residential or office address. Using an incorrect AO Code may lead to application rejection or delays. Always verify your AO Code before submission. If unsure, contact the local Income Tax Office.
