    With the government strictly implementing the use of a PAN card for registration in realty, there has been a sharp downturn in sales. The law mandates that any transactions above Rs.30 lakh require the PAN details of the person making the transaction in case of property.

    The government is also cracking down on fraudulent applications made with fake PAN cards, which has resulted in a sharp reduction in the number of properties being bought or sold.

     

     

     

  • Demonetisation Results in Increase in PAN Registrations

    The government’s demonetisation policy caused the general populace inconvenience for a period of time, but has reaped a fair number of benefits.

    As a result of the increased scrutiny, the government recorded an increase in PAN card registrations. Additionally, there was an 18% rise in income tax filings for the past financial year.

    The recent diktat on the linking of PAN cards to an Aadhaar card also contributed to an increase in the number of PAN registrations. Duplicate and multiple PAN cards being registered in one individual’s name has also been on the decline due to heightened surveillance and vigilance on the part of authorities.
