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.
JCA, ITEF & ITGOA will
protest against the callous attitude of CBDT on implementation of cadre
restructuring of Income Tax. It is decided by JCA to protest by lunch time demonstration
on 12.03.2014 at all CCIT and CIT stations.
Read the full content of circular
of JCA, dated 05.03.2014
“Dear Comrades
You are aware that the Central
Board of Direct Taxes has finalised and approved the allocation of 20751
additional posts sanctioned by the Government for restructuring of the
Department. The Board, according to the signing off message on the wee hours of
the Chairpersons superannuation, has sent the proposal to the Hon'ble Finance
Minister for his approval on 28th Feb. In 2014 . The present position, it is
learnt is that the same may be returned within a few days after approval for
notification and implementation.
The
JCA, representing about 95% of the personnel in the Department and shouldering
all the core responsibilities of completion of assessments, Revenue Collection,
widening tax base etc. came to know the above development from the Website. In
this context you may recall the ITEF Circular No. 38 dated 18.01.2014, wherein
we have detailed the discussion with the Member (P & V) and other officials
had with the representatives of JCA on 16th and 17th January, 2014 on the
implementation of Cadre Restructuring and allocation of post. The focus of
discussion in that meeting was to find out a solution and settlement of the
differences arising out of the two reports made by the Committee constituted by
the Board (Sub-Committee No. 1 and Core Committee) and the proposal of the
Income Tax Employees Federation on allocation of posts. As intimated in the
above circular, the meeting was concluded on the basis of an assurance that the
Board will come out with its stand as regards the basis of allocation of posts and
other matters and revert to the leaders of JCA for discussion before
finalisation. In yet another meeting the representatives of ITEF had with the
Chairperson, Member (P & V) & other officials on 20th February, 2014,
the assurance of discussion with us as soon as the CBDT finalise its proposal
was reiterated. On 21st February, 2014 also, the Member (P & V), while
addressing the Inaugural Session of the ITGOA Biennial General Meeting at
Chennai, assured the entire delegates and leaders of both the organisation that
the basis of allocation of posts is being worked out and will be subjected to
discussion with the JCA before finalisation. In its letter dated 24th February,
2014, the ITGOA, again requested the Chairperson to cause discussion with the
Representative of JCA before finalisation.
The
above action on the part of the CBDT authorities is clear infringement of
understanding and violation of principles of bilateral agreements. This
attitude of the CBDT in totally ignoring the recognised organisation which
represent the majority of the personnel in the Department and duplicity of
words deserve strongest condemnation. The Leaders of the JCA met in New Delhi
today and took stock of the situation arising out of the callous attitude of
the CBDT in dealing with the aspirations of the Personnel, decided to lodge our
protest in the form of a Demonstration and also to bring our protest to the
knowledge of the authorities by sending a savingram. Therefore, we request the
Circle / Unit leadership to stage this protest Demonstration during the lunch
recess on 12th March, 2014 at all CCIT and CIT Stations and adopt and send the
Savingram to the Chairman, CBDT in the enclosed format.”
