New Income Tax Rules – Submission of false Aadhaar number may be fined Rs. 10,000

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.

Diversion of Cadre Restructuring posts.

As per the decision and directions of the CWC, the CHQ has devised a formula for diversion of certain posts in ITO and ITI cadres to the circles to which the allocation of posts is either nil or much less than the proposal of the ITEF. The formula devised is to take some posts from the circles which got more posts than the proposal of ITEF and to proportionally allocate the same to the deficient Circles. As decided in the CWC, and before taking up the matter with the authorities, the CHQ wish to elicit the opinion of all circles especially from where such posts are to be taken out. The formula devised and the calculation based on that is annexed to this Circular. All circles are requested to convey their opinion on the matter by 10th July, 2014.
