PAN cards

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 24 May 2011 This query is : Resolved
In 2006 some acquaintance of mine a foreign national of Indian origin came to India & stayed with me for a month.Without my knowledge she applied for and got PAN cards for herself & 4 other family members (all foreign nationals)through a CA- I lately came to know that she gave my residential address as her/her family members residence most probably without mentioning that they were foreigners.
The family has sold ancestral property in India, they have apartments that they give out on lease & maybe even have investments in India.
I need to know if by giving my address whether I or later my children will have any problems with the ITax Dept if they do not file returns or pay taxes, etc.
I have told them to get the address changed but they seem to think it is "no big deal".
I even suspect that in their country of residence they have not told the authorities of such assets in India.
What should I do under the circumstances.

You or your children are not going to face any problem in the given matter. If any enquiry is made, you may simply say that address was not given in your knowledge so it is not big issue. You are least concerned if they have not mentioned in their country about property owned by them in India.
