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.

OFFICE
MEMORANDUM
The undersigned is directed
to say that instructions were issued vide this Department OM No.41/21/2000
dated 16/11/2000 for issue of Identity Cards to Central Govt. Pensioners. These
instructions have been reiterated vide this Department's letter of even number
dated 30th April, 2013.
2. Clarifications have been sought by various
Departments/ Associations/ pensioners in regard to issue of Identity Card to
Pensioners, The matter has been examined and the position /
clarifications are as under:
(i) Whether National Emblem or Ashoka
Chakra is to be printed on Pensioners'
Identity Card to facilitate their entry into
the Government Buildings.
|
The pensioners are retired Government servants.
The Identity Card only establishes the identity of the person and it does not
confer any right on the pensioner to enter into a security zone. Therefore,
it would not be necessary to have theNational Emblem on their Identity Cards.
|
(ii) Whether Pensioners' Identity Card
can be issued to retired employees
covered under NPS.
|
The concerned Ministries 1 Departments may
issue Pensioners' Identity Card (PIC)to retired NPS employees. A revised format
for Pensioners' Identity Card, for pensioners retiring under Central Civil Services
(Pension) Rules 1972 (or other corresponding rules) is at Annexure I. A format
for Pensioners' Identity Card for pensioners retiring under New Pension System
is at Annexure II.
|
(iii) Issue of Pensioners' Identity Card
(PIC)to absorbee /pro rata pensioners
|
Instructions issued by this Department cover
only the retired/retiring Central Government mployees. On permanent absorption
in a PSU I the employee severe their connections with the Government and are treated as employees of the PSU in which
they are absorbed. Such absorbees generally do not require frequent interaction
with the inistry/Department where they were working prior to theirpermanent
absorption. Therefore there is no justification for issuing Identity Card to PSU
absorbees.
|
(iv) Issue of Pensioners' Identity Card to
Retired All India Service Officers.
|
The pensioners' Identity Card is issued by the
Department in which the employee last worked. Therefore, in the case of IAS officer
retiring while on Central deputation, the Identity Card may be issued by concerned
Ministry / Department. In case of officer retiring from State Government, the
Identity Card may be issued by the concerned State Government.
