AI Summary

PAN migration: request transfer of PAN files by plain written application to current assessing office to secure jurisdictional transfer.
The operative mechanism for PAN migration is submitting a direct written request to the existing assessing officer (ITO) to transfer PAN/income tax files to the new jurisdiction; there is no prescribed formal procedure, so administrative correspondence and follow up with the assessing officer are the practical means to effect transfer.
