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.
Grant of Family Pension and Gratuity to the eligible member of the family of any employee/pensioner : PIB
Family pension is payable to the
family of a Government employee or pensioner after his death. Difficulties in
payment arise when a Government Servant or pensioner goes missing.
Clarificatory instructions have recently been issued by the Central Government
for payment of benefits in such cases.
According to these instructions,
the family must lodge a report with the concerned police station and obtain a
report from the police, that the employee or pensioner or family pensioner has
not been traced despite all efforts made by them.
The report may be a First
Information Report or any other report such as a Daily Diary or General Diary
Entry.
The family can apply for the
grant of family pension, amount of salary due, leave encashment due and the
amount of GPF and gratuity (whatever has not already been received) to the Head
of Office of the organisation where the employee or pensioner had last served,
six months after lodging of police report.
The amount of salary due, leave
encashment due and the amount of GPF will be paid to the family in the first
instance as per the nominations made by the employee or pensioner on filling of
a police report and submission of an indemnity bond.
