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.

Dear
Comrades,
Natural Calamity in Uttarakhand: It is needless to state here the horror and tragedy of the loss
of human lives and unprecedented destruction of homes and livelihoods in the
state of Uttarakhand during the foods, which continues to unfold even
today. It is known to all of us that hundreds of villages have also been
washed away alongwith thousands of human lives. The Prime Minister appealed to
all concerned that – “At this moment, the affected people need our help to tide
over the calamity that has fallen upon them, to survive and to rebuild their
lives. I request all citizens of India to stand with our distressed
fellow countrymen, and actively participate in the national effort to support
them at this difficult time”.
Responding to the appeal of the Prime Minister, the Confederation of Central
Government Employees and Workers has called upon the entirety of Central Govt.
Employees to donate one day’s salary to the Prime Minister Relief Fund and
extend full support in rehabilitation and reconstruction. Accordingly, the ITEF
calls upon all its members to donate one day salary for the above cause.
For faster and proper remittance of the fund, we have requested the
Chairperson, CBDT to direct all the Chief Commissioners (CCA) to effect the
deduction from the salary and remit the same to the Prime Minister’s Relief
Fund directly. Copy of the letter addressed to the Chairperson is
appended below. We hope all our members, as they do always, will rise to
the occasion and join our movement in providing support to them at this difficult
time.

all of you not to involve or associate with such committees at Circle

Madam,
Sub: Natural Calamity of Uttarakhand- Donation of One Day’s Salary by
Income Tax Employees- Request for deduction- Regarding-
It is needless to state here the horror and tragedy of the loss of human lives and unprecedented destruction of homes and livelihoods in the Kedarnath, Chamoli and other regions of Uttarakhand, which continues to unfold even today. It is known to all of us that hundreds of villages have also been washed away alongwith thousands of human lives.
The Income Tax Employees Federation felt it imperative on its part to devote our energy and resource into providing relief and succour to those affected and rebuilding the lost property and infrastructure and rehabilitation of the people. We have, therefore, decided to bestow one day’s salary towards the above objectives, through the Prime Ministers Relief Fund. We have also called upon all our members to donate the same to the PMRF.
Since all the Non-gazetted employees are our members and with a view to ensure speedy and proper remittance of the fund, we request your goodself to kindly issue necessary directions to the Cadre Controlling Authorities to effect the deduction and remit the funds to the Prime Ministers Relief Fund. For the purpose of deduction the One Day’s salary may be calculated on the Pay, Grade Pay and Dearness Allowance only, as other allowances like HRA, TA etc. are not uniform and vary according to places and postings etc. If any member wants to opt out from the donation, (s)he may be permitted to do so.
An early action in this regard is solicited.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
