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.
ITGOA wrote letter to CBDT pressing
for issuance of a guidelines for uniform implementation of Hon'ble Supreme Court's judgement in the case of Union of India Vs. N. R. Parmar and DOPT's O.M dated 04.03.2014, across the various
charges in order to remove the anomaly that exists in various charges in the
seniority list of Inspector of Income Tax. This has become necessary for conducting
the review DPCs in cadres of Income-tax Officers to determine relative
seniority at National level and also to reduce the ongoing litigation as well as
future litigation.
ITGOA in its letter also stated that
there is urgent need to attend this problem as the promotions in all cadres are
stayed by judicial authorities, which is jeopardizing the career prospects of
the members of the Association.
