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 National JCA met as scheduled
on 4th May 2014. The JCA meeting was held after a long gap i.e. after 28th
July, 2013 meeting held at New Delhi. The meeting deliberated in detail the
present situation on the issues of the JCA pending for long especially in the
light of the nugatory and insensitive attitude of the CBDT authorities towards
the just and legitimate demands of the personnel of the Department. The
meeting, on the other side took note of the positive attitude and assurances laid
out from the side of the Secretary (Revenue) in the meeting held on 28th April,

it is time to embark on serious agitation under the united platform of JCA. It
is also noted that the intervention of the Secretary (Revenue) and his
