New Income Tax Rules – Submission of false Aadhaar number may be fined Rs. 10,000

As it is well known that the income tax department has allowed Aadhaar card holders to use the biometric id number in lieu of the Permanent Account Number (PAN). But as per new provision of Income Tax, fine of Rs. 10,000 may be levied in case of wrong Aadhar Number. As per the latest amendments in the Finance Bill 2019, not only allowed people to use Aadhaar in lieu of PAN but also introduced a penalty for giving a false Aadhaar number. However, the new penalty rules are applicable only in cases where you are using Aadhaar in lieu of PAN and where quoting PAN is mandatory according to the income tax department rules. It is well known that although Aadhaar is issued by the Unique Identity Authority of India, yet the fine is not imposed by UIDAI but by the income tax department. Under Section 272B of the Income Tax Act, 1961, the department can impose a penalty in case of default in complying with provisions relating to PAN, i.e., failure to obtain, quote, or authenticate PAN. ...

Cadre Restructuring of the department would not be helpful in improving tax payer services and overall revenue collection : The Income Tax Gazetted Officers Association

A news published on a English Daily Business Standard regarding view of ITGOA on cadre restructuring of Income-tax, content is as under:

An income-tax officers' body on Thursday said the recently sanctioned cadre restructuring of the department would not be helpful in improving tax payer services and overall revenue collection, as promotion of officers would be stuck.

The Income Tax Gazetted Officers Association said vacancies in important positions of deputy commissioner and assistant commissioner would "remain unfilled for the next three to five years", as half the newly created posts will be filled by promotion in a phased manner, which is time consuming. The body has 9,000 members working in the I-T department across the country.

The government in May had approved a large scale and ambitious cadre restructuring of the I-T department and created 20,751 posts in various ranks.

The body has suggested some remedies to fill up vacant posts fast. "All new vacancies in ACIT created in the cadre restructuring could be filled by promotion and it must be in one go, as is proposed to be done in all the other cadres and also done in the restructuring 2001," ITGOA said in a statement.

However, Central Board of Direct Tax es (CBDT), the apex policy making body of the I-T department has already issued orders to amend and frame recruitment rules for these officers and their representations will be taken into account before operationalising the cadre restructuring process for the department.


According to the new blueprint of the I-T in this regard, the number of assessment units would be "increased by 1,080 from 3,420 to 4,500 for strengthening the tax administration". This step is expected to "bring additional revenue of Rs 25,756.04 crore per annum against an expenditure of Rs 449.71 crore per annum," the new blueprint said. The department has also decided to depute one more assessing officer in each I-T range and the number of administrative Commissioners (who look after tax collection work) will be enhanced from 228 to 250.
