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.
All Central government employees
will soon be expected to communicate through the National Informatics Centre
(NIC) email ID, a union minister said on Monday adding that the government was
chalking out a plan in this regard.
Minister of State for
Communications Milind Deora told reporters that his department is working
on a new email policy which will address this issue, among others.
"Once this is ready, then
all government officials will have to communicate only through NIC email
id," he said.
"After this, the issue of
cyber security can be addressed on a single platform as NIC is taking care of
e-governance programmes of the Centre," said Deora.
