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. ...
The Central Administrative
Tribunal (CAT) has scrapped the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) Combined
Graduate Level Examination for 2013 and ordered re-examination on the ground
that the question papers were leaked.
View the
Taking into note the status
report Delhi Police filed in the case that said the SSC CGLE 2013 Tier-I and II
exams were leaked from various centres, a bench of CAT members Raj Vir Sharma
and Shekhar Agarwal scrapped the examination.
The examination was conducted for
recruitment of Income Tax Inspectors, Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI),
Sub Inspectors and Excise Department Inspectors, among others.
The question papers were leaked
in 2013 and police arrested 14 people, including a policeman, for their alleged
involvement in the case.
In its order, the CAT said that
as per the report submitted by police, electronic gadgets such as laptops,
mobile phones, data cards and pen drives were extensively used in the
examination.
"Answer keys were
transmitted via SMSes and emails well before the start of the examination and a
large number of people, including those running coaching institutes and
candidates participating in the examination, were involved.
"Investigations conducted by
Delhi Police revealed involvement of some centres and transmission of answer
keys to candidates located at the stations," the order said.
It said the "possibility of
further investigation revealing involvement of other candidates at other
stations cannot be ruled out as this list given by police is by no means
exhaustive.
The CAT order said investigations
were also being carried out by the CBI and police at other stations which may
reveal involvement of many other centres.
The order came on a plea filed by
Nitant Trivedi, Maninder Singh Attri and Vivek Kumar Mishra, seeking fresh
examination in light of question papers being leaked from various centres,
including Delhi, Lucknow, Patna, Allahabad, Jaipur, Dehradun and Shimla.
The SSC had earlier said it will
re-conduct the examination only in seven cities (View notification of SSC). But after the CAT's April 23
order, it has to re-conduct the test all over India.
