Paypal not accepting my Pan card, What is the problem?
How till be the tax payed? I mean if paypal is taking our pan no then will it automatically cut the tax from the earnings or we have to do it manually?
I withdrew my PayPal money earned during Financial year 2009-10 in May 2010. So, am i supposed to pay tax on that money right now(i mean before July 31st 2010) or during the assessment of this financial year(2010-11), that is, next year.
Frankly, if i didn't receive any money in the bank, should i be required to pay tax on that ? I withdrew the money this year (may 2010) so logically, i should pay tax on that money during filing return next year. Please clear my doubt.
Is there possiblity of arising problem while taking account from PAYPAL if Name on PAN card and NAME in paypal account differs like below
and if name on bank account and name on PAN card also differs in similar way then is it possible to transfer of money from paypal to bank account
