Rules regarding quoting of PAN for specified transactions amended

The Government is committed to curbing the circulation of black money and  widening of tax base. To collect information of certain types of transactions  from third parties in a non-intrusive manner, the Income-tax Rules require  quoting of Permanent Account Number (PAN) where the transactions exceed  a specified limit. Persons who do not hold PAN are required to fill a form and
 furnish any one of the specified documents to establish their identity.

              One of the recommendations of the Special Investigation Team (SIT)  on Black Money was that quoting of PAN should be made mandatory for al l sales and purchases of goods and services where the payment exceeds  Rs.1 lakh. Accepting this recommendation, the Finance Minister made an  announcement to this effect in his Budget Speech. The Government has 
since received numerous representations from various quarters regarding the  burden of compliance this proposal would entail. Considering the representations,  it has been decided that quoting of PAN will be required for transactions of an  amount exceeding Rs.2 lakh regardless of the mode of payment.

             To bring a balance between burden of compliance on legitimate  transactions and the need to capture information relating to transactions  of higher value, the Government has also enhanced the monetary limits of  certain transactions which require quoting of PAN. The monetary limits have  now been raised to Rs. 10 lakh from Rs. 5 lakh for sale or purchase of immovable
