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.

a)          Basis of Work Load; b) Basis of Stagnation in various Cadres and c) Revenue
Collection.
2.     In order to work out the allocation on the above principle it was decided to seek the following information from the Circles in the format/proforma attached herewith.

1.     With regard to setting up of the Committee to collate the information and suggestions gathered from the Circles & CBDT and make final proposal to be presented in the Central Working Committee Meeting, it was decided in principle to retain the same committee which has gone into all aspects and suggested the parameters and finalised our proposal for the Cadre Restructuring to the Central Board of Direct Taxes.  Accordingly, the committee shall consists of the following Comrades.

4.            The Central Working Committee Meeting will be held on 17th July, 2013 at New Delhi  for which notice will be issued separately.  We have requested the leaders of ITEF Delhi Circle to explore the possibility of making arrangements for the same.  Since the Working Committee will be mainly  discussing the issues concerning the approach towards the Implementation of the Restructuring, the probability of a prolonged session is not ruled out.  Therefore, all the Working Committee Members are requested not to book their return tickets for 17th July, 2013.

          Confederation programme on 15 Point of Charter of Demands.

In view of the nonchalant attitude of the Government of India in settling the grievances of the Central Government Employees raised through the 15 point Charter of Demands, including the demand of Pay Revision through appointment of the VII CPC, DA merger etc, the Confederation has called upon all its affiliates to organise MASS DHARNAs at all State Capaitals, Important Cities on 20th June, 2013.  All the Circle leaders are requested to coordinate  with the respective State Committees of the Confederation and participate in the programme of Dharna with seizable number of participants from ITEF.

DA will be 100% w.e.f. January 2014

Now it is very clear from the AICPIN issued today that DA will be 100% w.e.f. January 2014. Decline in AICPIN for December, 2013 vanished the expectation for crossing the DA from 100%. However, it will give a great relief to Central Government Employees and Pensioners as DA will be enhanced by 10% again. View ITian India on Facebook View statistics data for AICPIN here
