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.
AIRF writes for enhancement in the rates of various allowances by 25% consequent upon DA crossing 100%
All India Railwaymen's Federation (AIRF) has sent a letter to the secretary(E), Railway board regarding enhancement in the rates of various allowances by 25%
consequent upon DA crossing 100%. Read the contents of letter here:
"The VI CPC in their report had
recommended that certain allowances, viz. Children Education Allowance,
National Holiday Allowance, Daily Allowance, Washing Allowance, Breakdown Allowance,
Special Compensatory Allowance, Cycle Maintenance Allowance, Fixed Conveyance Allowance,
Road Mileage Allowance, Special Allowance to various categories of staff etc.
etc., should be increased by 25% whenever Dearness Allowance crosses 50%, and this
recommendation was duly accepted by the Government of India.
Based on the above recommendation
of the VI CPC, these allowances have since been enhanced by 25% w.e.f.
01.01.2011, i.e. from the date, Dearness Allowance having been crossed 50%.
Now, Dearness Allowance has
crossed 100% w.e.f. 01.01.2014, there is, therefore, gross justification that
the above allowances be further enhanced by additional 25%, as Dearness
Allowance has again crossed the value of 50% after enhancement of these
allowances wef01.01.2011.
The Board are, therefore,
requested to issue necessary instruction to this effect an early date"
