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.
CONFEDERATION OF CENTRAL GOVT. EMPLOYEES & WORKERS
As you are aware, Central
Government is going ahead with their agenda on pension privatization. The
controversial PFRDA Bill (Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority Bill)
is listed as an agenda item for the current Parliament session. The bill may be
taken up for discussion in Parliament on any day. Confederation of Central
Government Employees & Workers has opposed the Contributory Pension Scheme
and also the PFRDA Bill from the very beginning.
We have conducted so many
agitational programmes including strike. The left parties in the parliament
have also strongly opposed the Bill. In spite of the opposition from employees
(both Central Government and State Government Employees & Teachers) and
also from left political parties, the Central Government is not ready to
withdraw the contributory Pension scheme or to scrap the PFRDA Bill.
The National Secretariat of the
Confederation has viewed the move of the Government with grave concern and
decided to call upon the entirety of the Central Government Employees &
Workers to organize mass protest demonstration in front of all offices
throughout the country after walking out from offices for two hours, on the day
when the bill is taken up for discussion in Parliament or on the next day if
information is received late.
All India office bearers, State
level COCs and other COCs are requested to make the two hours walk out
programme a grand success.
(M. Krishnan)
Secretary General
