Aadhaar mandatory for applying for PAN; filing IT returns

New Delhi:
India Inc can make donations to political parties without any fetters now that the amendments to the Finance Bill, passed in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, have removed the existing cap of 7.5 per cent of their average net profits for last three financial years.

The amendments include reduction to the limit for cash transactions to Rs. 2 lakh from the earlier envisaged Rs. 3 lakh for Income Tax. Companies now do not have to disclose in their profit and loss accounts the name of the political parties to which they contributed.

The contributions to political parties will have to be made only through a cheque, bank draft, electronic means or any other scheme notified by the government. The Finance Bill 2017 already provided for the introduction of ‘electoral bonds’ to make contributions to political parties.

Come July 1, 2017, it would be mandatory for every person to quote their Aadhaar number when applying for a PAN or while filing their income-tax returns.

Bets on Aadhaar card

“We are seeing situations where one person is going around with five PAN cards. This cannot be allowed,” he said. Jaitley also did not agree with the contention of opposition members that even Aadhaar card could be misused. “There is less possibility of misuse of Aadhaar card,” Jaitley said.
