Mandating Aadhaar linkage to PAN cards
Permanent
Account Number (PAN) is the key identifier of taxable entity and aggregator of
all financial transactions undertaken by one person. One PAN for one person is
the guiding principle for allotment of PAN. However, for achieving the
objective of one PAN to one assessee it is required to maintain uniqueness of
PAN. The uniqueness of PAN is achieved by conducting a de-duplication check on
all already existing allotted PAN against the data furnished by new applicant.
Under the existing system of PAN only demographic data is captured. Some
instances are found where multiple PANs have been allotted to one person or one
PAN has been allotted to multiple persons despite the application of
de-duplication process based on demographic data. Linkage of Aadhaar number
into PAN database will allow a robust way of de-duplication as Aadhaar number
is based on biometric attributes of finger prints and iris images. Further
seeding of Aadhaar will allow the Income-tax Department to weed out any
undetected duplicate PANs. It will also facilitate resolution of cases of one
PAN allotted to multiple persons.
As on
27.7.2017, 11,44,211 PANs have been identified and deleted or de-activated in
cases where multiple PANs were found allotted to one person. Similarly, as on
27.7.2017, 1,566 PANs have been identified as ‘Fake’ which were allotted to
either non-existent person or in the names of persons with false identities. In
this regard, the PAN service provider carries out onsite verification of PAN
applications to verify identity and addresses of the applicant and share the
report of such verification to the concerned Assessing Officer. On receipt of
such report the assessing officer also conducts enquires and mark the PAN as
“Fake”. If information of allotment of more than one PAN is received, the
facility to delete or de-activate the PAN is available with the Assessing
Officer through application software. Further, during 2004 to 2007, an exercise
for de-duplication of PAN was conducted in the Department to identify probable
duplicate PANs, which were consequently deleted or de-activated by the
concerned assessing officers after examinations.
This was stated
by Shri Santosh Kumar Gangwar, Minister of State for Finance in written reply
to a question in Rajya Sabha today. (01.08.2017)

till the Aadhaar holder chooses to either unlock it (which is temporary) or
disable the locking system.
