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.
Government has set up a Group of
four Ministers led by Shri A.K. Antony to discuss the workers` demands with the
united front of trade unions.
Two meetings of the Group of
Ministers (GoM) were held on 18.02.2013 and 22.05.2013 in which the ten point
Charter of Demand of the trade unions were discussed. The discussions remained
inconclusive and it was decided that the issues/demands will be considered by
the Group of Ministers themselves before further discussions with the Central
Trade Unions representatives. As such, no final recommendation has been given
by the GoM.
This information was given by
Minister of State for Labour & Employment Shri Kodikunnil Suresh in the Lok
Sabha today in reply to a written question.
