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. ...
Meetings on cadre restructuring with ITEF and ITGOA convened by Member (P&V), CBDT were held on 16.01.2014 and 17.01.2014. As stated earlier the main subject of meeting was different yardsticks adopted by sub-committee -1 and core committed and that of the ITEF. ITEF cleared its views on formula proposed by them regarding allocation of posts. Meeting was concluded without any final assurance except assurance of Member(P&V) to discuss the outcome in the board.
ITEF vide its circular also requested to all circles to carry out the agitation program from 21.01.2014.
The contents of circular of ITEF is as under :
"As intimated in our last circular
a meeting was convened by the Member (P&V),CBDT with the representatives of
ITEF and ITGOA on 16th and 17th January, 2014 to discuss the report of the Core
Committee on allocation of posts. The
meeting was chaired by Ms. Deepak
Krishan, Member (P&V) and attended by Shri S.K. Lohani’JS (Admn), Shri
Debjyoti Das, Director of IT (HRD) and Ms. Swati Joshi, Addl. DIT(HRD) from the Official side. Following ITEF representatives presented our
views on various issues. Coms. Ashok B
Salunkhe (President), KP Rajagopal (Secy. General), Ashok Kr. Kanojia (Addl.
Secy), Raveendran B Nair, Yashwant Purohit (Jt. Secretaries) & Rupak Sarkar
(Finance Secretary.
The discussion mainly cantered
around the different yardsticks adopted by the
Sub-Committee No. 1 and core committee and that of the ITEF. Further the stand taken by the Sub-Committee
to consider the entire sanctioned strength (Existing SS and Addl. Post
sanctioned by the Government) for determining the allocation. Thirdly, the modification
carried out by the Core Committee.
There was unanimity in both sides that the decision of the Union Cabinet
and mandate of the Sub-committee and Core Committee were only with regard to
the additionally sanctioned post. Though
the broad yardsticks adopted by ITEF and the Official Committee were similar
viz. Work load, Revenue Collection, Stagnation and Geographical area, the
percentage and basis adopted to formulate the entitlement were different. The representatives also put forth to the authorities
that we are inclined to have minor
adjustments in the percentage adopted if the authorities divulge their stand,
and ready to work out the allocation after carrying out required adjustments
with regard to major changes taken place after the 2001 cadre
restructuring. We have also emphasised
our stands with regard to the Directorates of Delhi, Shifting CIT Charge of
Haldwani, CCA for Chhattisgarh, abnormal stagnation in certain charges etc. The meeting was concluded with the assurances
of the Member (P&V) to discuss the outcome in the Board meeting and
reverting back to us at the earliest.
From the nature and outcome of
the discussion, we hope that sooner than later an understanding can be arrived
in the matter and the process of allocation started without further delay. Undoubtedly the allocation of posts is
not the only issue requiring urgent
action and immediate resolution by the
authorities. The issues like Clear cut
instruction as to how the Inter-se seniority is to be fixed as per Supreme
Court order, Reversal of the instructions on Casual Labours, Implementation of
already approved projects like lap tops to Inspectors, Increased Local Travel
expenses to ITI/NS, Mobile handsets, Incremental benefit on promotion, advance
increment to STA/Stgr., 6 Air-conditioners per range for staff etc.etc. are
still pending. It is in this background
the extended Secretariat Meeting arrived at the decision to step into the path
of agitation. Therefore, all the Circles
are requested to carry out the programme of agitation outlined in the Circular
No. 37 dated 14.01.2014 from 21st January, 2014.

Central Govt. Employees. As intimated,

Meeting of the ITEF on 13.01.2014 decided to call upon all circles to make the
strike in Income Tax Department a total success and to put all efforts for the

selected for the action and issues on
which the employees are going on strike need no emphasis, yet these have been
