The Aadhaar Card can now be quoted for cash transactions of more than Rs. 50,000 and all other purposes where traditionally income tax PAN number was a must, according to a top official. The Banks and other institutions will make backend upgrades to allow acceptance of Aadhaar in all places where quoting PAN is now mandatory, Revenue Secretary Ajay Bhushan Pandey said Saturday. This follows the Budget allowing interchangeability of PAN and Aadhaar for ease of compliance of taxpayers.

‘Today you have 22 crore PAN cards which are linked to Aadhaar. You have more than 120 crore people who have Aadhaar. Then supposing somebody wants PAN, he has to first use Aadhaar, generate PAN, and then start using it. With Aadhaar the advantage would be he now does not have to generate PAN. So this is a great convenience,’ he said.

Asked if Aadhaar Card can be used for deposit or withdrawal of cash worth more than Rs. 50,000 from the bank accounts in place of PAN, Mr. Pandey said, ‘There also you can use Aadhaar’. In order to curb black money, quoting of PAN is mandatory for cash transactions, such as a hotel or foreign travel bills, exceeding Rs. 50,000. PAN is also mandatory on the purchase of immovable property of over Rs. 10 lakh.

Aadhaar Card Now Used For Cash Transactions

While Aadhaar is backed by the biometric data of individuals, there have been several instances of people quoting a wrong PAN or obtaining a PAN number fraudulently. On whether PAN will be phased out, he said that would not happen as people would have a choice to either quote Permanent Account Number (PAN) or Aadhaar wherever required. ‘Because there are some people who are comfortable on PAN,’ he said. ‘So PAN and Aadhaar both will exist, because some people may prefer to use Aadhaar, some people may prefer to use PAN. But at the back end, for every PAN there will be an Aadhaar.’

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in her Budget speech on Friday said for the ease and convenience of taxpayers, ‘I propose to make PAN and Aadhaar interchangeable and allow those who do not have PAN to file Income Tax returns by simply quoting they the Aadhaar number and also use it wherever they are required to quote PAN.’ Of the over 41 crore PANs issued, 22 Crore have been linking Aadhaar.

Section 139 AA (2) of the Income Tax Act says that every person having PAN as of July 1, 2017, and eligible to obtain Aadhaar, must intimate his Aadhaar number to the tax authorities. After the Supreme Court upheld Section 139AA of the I-T Act, the government in March extended the deadline for linking PAN with biometric ID Aadhaar by six months till September 30.

However, quoting the Aadhaar Card is mandatory for filing income tax returns (ITRs), following the Supreme Court order. The top court, in September last year, had declared the center’s flagship Aadhaar scheme as constitutionally valid and held that the biometric ID would remain mandatory for filing I-T returns and allotment of the PAN. A five-judge constitution bench had, however, said that it would not be mandatory to link Aadhaar to bank accounts and telecom service providers cannot seek its linking for mobile connections.
