What happens if I file TDS with the wrong Punjab National Bank West Bengal BSR code?

Filing a TDS challan with the wrong Punjab National Bank BSR code in West Bengal causes the challan to remain unmatched in the TIN (Tax Information Network) system. The taxpayer's Form 26AS will not reflect the TDS credit — even though the tax was actually paid. This triggers demand notices and delays ITR processing. You can correct it via the TRACES portal (tdscpc.gov.in) or at the Punjab National Bank branch where the deposit was made, subject to time limits. Always verify the BSR code on BankZop before filing.

Do Punjab National Bank BSR codes in West Bengal change after a bank merger?

Before filing TDS for a Punjab National Bank branch in West Bengal you haven't used recently, verify the BSR code is still current.

The BSR code in the challan must match the branch that actually received the deposit. Using a different branch's BSR code will cause the Challan Identification Number (CIN) to be invalid, resulting in unmatched TDS credit in Form 26AS.

Why Each Punjab National Bank Branch in West Bengal Has a Different BSR Code

Every Punjab National Bank branch in West Bengal has a unique 7-digit BSR code structured as follows:

Digits 1–3 (Bank Code): Always the same for all Punjab National Bank branches everywhere in India. These three digits are the bank's unique RBI-assigned identifier in the BSR system.
Digits 4–7 (Branch Code): Four numeric digits unique to each branch. This is what differentiates one Punjab National Bank branch in West Bengal from another. No two Punjab National Bank branches anywhere in India share the same full 7-digit BSR code.

Always quote all 7 digits when filing on the Income Tax e-Filing portal. Dropping leading zeros (e.g. entering 20299 instead of 0020299) is the most common error causing challan mismatches.

When You Need the Punjab National Bank West Bengal BSR Code

TDS Challan Deposits (Challan 280, 281, 282)

When you deposit TDS at any Punjab National Bank branch in West Bengal, the branch issues a challan counterfoil carrying the branch's 7-digit BSR code, date of deposit, and challan serial number — together forming the Challan Identification Number (CIN). This CIN is mandatory in every TDS return filed on the Income Tax portal. An incorrect Punjab National Bank BSR code means the challan stays unmatched in the TIN system and the taxpayer's Form 26AS never reflects the credit.

Form 16 (TDS Certificate)

Employers who deduct TDS from salaries and deposit it at a Punjab National Bank branch in West Bengal must quote that branch's correct BSR code in their quarterly TDS returns (Form 24Q). This flows into Form 16 Part A issued to employees. An incorrect BSR code in Form 24Q results in an invalid Form 16 that TRACES cannot validate.

Form 26AS Tax Credit Matching

Form 26AS — the taxpayer's annual consolidated tax statement — matches every TDS entry using BSR code + date of deposit + challan serial number. A wrong Punjab National Bank West Bengal BSR code in the TDS return means the credit never appears in Form 26AS, causing demand notices and ITR processing delays even though the tax was paid.
