Importance of Linking PAN Card with Aadhaar Card
Unique identification cards, such as the PAN card and the Aadhaar card, are required for registration and identity verification. They both serve as confirmation of identity.
All organisations have been advised by the government to link their PAN cards with their Aadhaar cards. The following goals motivate this action:
Prevent Tax Evasion: The government would be able to monitor the taxable transactions of a specific person or company by linking their Aadhaar and PAN cards, and their Aadhaar card will serve as proof of their identity and residence. This practically means that the government will keep track of every taxable transaction or activity. As a result, tax evasion would be a thing of the past because the government will already have a thorough record of all financial transactions that would trigger tax for each firm.
- Multiple PAN Cards:
In order to prevent people or organisations from obtaining numerous PAN cards in an effort to defraud the government and evade paying taxes, connecting PAN and Aadhaar is another rationale.
An entity can use one of the PAN cards for a specific set of financial operations and the associated taxes by applying for more than one PAN card. The other PAN card can be used, in the meantime, for transactions or accounts that the entity wants to keep hidden from the Income Tax department in order to avoid paying tax on them. The government will be able to identify an entity’s identification through his or her Aadhaar card and afterwards have records of all financial transactions done through the linked PAN card by linking the PAN and Aadhaar card. The government will be able to recognise duplicate PAN cards registered under the same name and take appropriate action if this occurs.
