● Benefits of linking Aadhar with PAN
:- will the process of linking Aadhar with PAN may appear to be a purely legal obligation, there are benefits of this linking for the government and for individual tax payers. Let us look a the key benefits from linking Aadhar with PAN.
● Benefits of linking from the government standpoint…..
For the government, linking the Aadhar card with the PAN card offers an audit trail. Now Aadhar card is a must for almost all transactions and the linkage provides a complete activity trail for the income tax department. This will be the key to plugging revenue leakages.
A lot of black money in the economy gets generated due to luck of audit trail. since the spread of Aadhar is substantially larger then the spread of PAN cards, more people who have been evading taxes will be brought under the tax net and the tax base gets expanded.
From the point of view of the government, individuals will will find it very hard to have multiple PAN card which have been one of the key methods of evading taxes by spreading income across fictitious PAN cards. This another major loophole in the tax system gets plugged.
● Benefits of linking to the individual tax payer…….
:- For too long you have been complaining that you honestly pay the tax but many others get away without any tax burden. That will be largely curbed once the linkage of PAN and Aadhar is done. Government will be able to widen base and pass on benefits to you I. Form of lower tax rates
For tax filing purposes, the PAN Aadhar linkage will act as a great facilitator as more complicated activities like sending the receipt to the IT department or e-signature will not be required. Aadhar e-verification will automatically do the job.
From a regulatory standpoint, you will not be able to file return from next year unless your OAN card is mapped to Aadhar. However. Leaving the regulatory part aside, you will also get a single page view of all your transaction through your IT login itself.
While there are likely to be teething problems ,this linkage of Aadhar and PAN is a steps in the right direction. Over the longer term, the individual taxpayers and the government should stand to benefits in a big way!
