Know the real time running information of trains<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThe railways display identity proof details of each passenger on the reservation list. If the booking is done on the basis of one’s PAN card as identity proof,then the PAN card number is displayed\u00a0on the reservation chart pasted on the trains.<\/p>\n
The Union budget has now made it mandatory for jewellers to collect PAN numbers. Tax is levied on jewellery purchases worth Rs 5 lakh and bullion purchases worth Rs 2 lakh.\u00a0Some customers have issues in revealing the source of their money and so do not wish to give their PAN card data. To help these customers, some jewellers have improved their service by quoting benami PAN card numbers picked up from railway charts.<\/p>\n
As a result, completely unsuspicious honest tax payers get into trouble. Their tax filings show a purchase which they are completely unaware of. Genuine tax payers would \u00a0have to\u00a0prove that they have \u00a0not carried out this transaction supposing the Income Tax department initiates action against them.<\/p>\n
Also, tax payers will come to know of this misuse only if they have the habit of checking their tax credit on form 26AS provided by the Income Tax department on their website. Also Income Tax experts warn that this form is updated only on filing of e-TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) by traders and the delay\u00a0may be as long as one year.<\/p>\n
Railway officials have not done anything to change this situation and they continue to display full details of passengers on the reservation lists. While collecting identity details is a\u00a0necessity,displaying these details publicly across all trains is asking for trouble. Details other than the name of the passenger need not be displayed on trains. Such details should only be provided to the TTE (Travel Ticket Examiner) so that they can check and verify the identity of the passengers. Railways should immediately look into this matter before things get out of hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
