Principal Commissioner's transfer of the assessee's PAN and associated 'case' to the Central charge carried all powers over the PAN, including power to cancel registration; therefore PCIT(C) had jurisdiction to cancel registration for prior and subsequent years. Cancellation under registration provisions was upheld on merits: the trust's recorded activities were non genuine and deviated from its objects by funding profit entities, promoting partisan content, and making payments without evidence of services, amounting to specified violations; such use of funds defeats charitable application and justifies loss of exemption. The appeal against cancellation is dismissed.
