Abuse of
PAN No. Passport Details - Do not quote for Tatkal bookings.
Do not quote PAN for Tatkal
bookings. Indian Railways display PAN as identity proof for
Tatkal
bookings.
The Railways have collect PAN for
Tatkal bookings and display the PAN+ name, sex and age
of passengers on
reservation charts pasted on railway compartments.
This is a boon for benami
transactions. It is mandatory for traders like jewelers to collect tax
(TCS)
from customers on purchase of jewellery worth Rs.5 lakh & bullion worth
Rs.2 lakh. While complying with TCS rules for collection, payment, and
uploading of TCS
information (e-filing of TDS returns) jewelers have to
furnish PAN of customers.
Customers it is not convenient to provide
PAN.
To accommodate high net worth
customers, traders have a easy source of benami PAN numbers,
name, sex and
age from reserved railway compartments. A traveler recently noticed a chap
copying PAN particulars along with name, age and sex pasted on reserved
compartments,
and when confronted with the help of railway police, he
admitted that he gets Rs.10/- per PAN
particulars from jewelers. These
persons are copying PAN information of senior citizens,
women etc. from
sleeper class with the intention that passengers in sleeper class are not
serious
taxpayers and generally salaried class.
This wrong usage of a PAN number is
known to the regular taxpayers, who regularly check
their tax credit on form
26 AS provided by the Income Tax department on their website.
This form
26-AS is updated only on filing of e-TDS returns by the traders. There is almost
6-12
months time delay for the PAN holder to know that a transaction of
above nature has taken
place on his name and that too only if he goes
through form 26 AS. On noticing the tax credit
of above nature while
reconciling form 26 AS for tax credits for filing the return during
subsequent financial year i.e. July / September, the taxpayer has an option
to exclude the same
and go ahead in filing the return. In that case, the
department will first initiate action from the
taxpayer's side asking him to
explain the sources of money for the above transaction done in his
name and
to prove that he has not carried on the above transaction. The onus lies on the
genuine taxpayer for the fault committed by the traders. This dispute may
even take more than
2 years for settlements.
In conclusion, the only way to protect you
from these fraudulent transactions is to avoid
quoting PAN details for
'Identity
Proof'.
