AO Code search for PAN

Home > AO Code search for PAN






Range code, area code, AO number and AO type are the parameters that make up the AO code. This is a mandatory detail that applicants must enter in their application forms, while applying for a new PAN. You must search for this information for yourself based on certain basic descriptions, as you are likely to get little help from the Income Tax Office for this, unless you are really lucky.

The following steps can be followed by applicants, to get their right AO code that needs to be filled in the PAN application form.

Take your office or residence address as the base and search for your AO code by city. You can refer to the two tables provided at the end of this page.

If you know the details of your Commissioner, Range, Circle or Ward, you can enter the details of your Assessing Officer in the column mentioned right against the Ward/Circle/Range/Commissioner. Details regarding your Assessing Officer can be found from your tax returns that you filed last year, or you can request an Income Tax office official to provide you the details.

Important cities have detailed and unique descriptions against their names, so that candidates can drill down to find out their AO code exactly.

The following two tables give the details of various AO codes, which will help you, as the PAN applicant, to understand which jurisdiction you fall under. The combination of AO code and a PAN need not be the same always. Only the PAN remains the same. The AO code keeps changing as per the IT laws. You can get updated information about AO codes from your nearest Income Tax Office.
