New Verification Certificate for PAN Applications (The Other side of the Coin)
CA. Harsh Jain
The Income Tax Department has brought out the New Format of the Certificate attached herewith to be obtained from Gazatted Officer's, MP's & MLA's for PAN Application is all good as it will curb false stamp preparation and false attestation. However, the biggest problem is asking for the Photocopy of the Identity Card of the same person.
Most Officers & MP's & MLA's do not even talk properly and attest the documents as if they have done it taking so much pain and its not their Job.
So, forget about obtaining copy of Identity Card from them, all is good, but, I think this policy wont work. Hence, there should be a step taken to inform the Income Tax Department to change this, otherwise the general public would have to give bribes even to obtain this Verification Certificate and Copy of I-Card of the Officer.
What would be the best solution which could be sent to the Income Tax Department for consideration.
Thanks & Regards

Dear Professional Colleagues
In my opinion the best solution which could be sent to the Income Tax
Department for consideration is to allow the practicing professionals like CA,
CS, CWA, to certify with their membership numbers and seal to enable the public
at large to obtain PAN hassle free.

Dear All,
I quite agree with this suggestion. In case it is found at a later date that PAN has been acquired by the recipient falsely, the membership of the concerned professional who has certified, can be cancelled as they can be easily identified. Besides, such professionals can also be easily approached by the general public for the purpose of attestation. The Income tax department can easily verify the authenticity by accessing the membership details of the respective professional bodies, which is a fools proof system and can avoid the current hardship to the general public.
In view of the above, this matter needs to be discussed by the respective central council of CA/CS/CWA and proposal sent to the Ministry of Finance (thru’ Ministry of Corporate Affairs).
With warm regards,
CS. K. Krishnamoorthy
