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.

CR of Incocome Tax: Conclusion regarding allocation of posts next Week, ITEF's New Circular

As per the new circular issued by ITEF, Chairperson informed ITEF representatives that the discussion regarding allocation of posts is still not concluded and the same may be finalized in the next week. After the assurance of the Chairperson, the ongoing non cooperation movement is suspended for the time being. The full contents of the ITEF's Circular as under:
"We thank you very much for the great efforts undertaken by all of you in carrying out the month long agitation of non-co-operation action against the nugatory attitude of CBDT in settlement our long pending demands. We were informed by our circle secretaries of the tremendous participation of our members in the black flag demonstrations and walk out organised at the time of visit of the Board authorities to the State capitals and elsewhere. These actions had its salutary impact even though some of our circle could not carry out the programme as effectively as others.

            The undersigned along with Com. President had met chairperson and Member (P & V) today. In the matter of allocation of posts, the Chairperson informed us that the internal discussions in the Board are yet to reach finality. She has indicated that the said discussions might be concluded during the next week, where after, the issue will be subjected to discussion with ITEF to reach an amicably agreed proposition.

In view of the directions of DOPT to refer the clarifications on implementation of Supreme Court Order in Union of India & Ors vs. N.R.Parmar & Ors. to Law Ministry for their approval, the Board has decided to keep the earlier instruction in abeyance. Also since the CAT principal Bench has stayed the Board's order stopping payment to daily rated workers, the Board will issue appropriate orders in the matter.

In the light of above discussions and conclusions we may advise you to suspend the ongoing non-co-operation movement for the time being but be prepared to recommence the same at short notice."
