Amendment Of Rules Regarding Quoting Of PAN For Specified Transactions To Come Into Force From 01.01.16

Specified Transactions To Come Into Force From 01.01.16

Amendment of Rules regarding quoting of PAN for specified transactions to come into force from 1st January, 2016 

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, it is mandatory under Rule 114B of the Income-tax Rules to quote PAN where the transactions exceed a specified limit. In case of transactions of sale or purchase of goods and services, PAN will be required to be quoted, irrespective of the mode of payment if the transaction exceeds Rs. two lakhs. 

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 amended Rule 114B to enhance the monetary limits of certain transactions which require quoting of PAN. 

The changes made to the Rules have been notified through S.O. No. 3545(E) dated 30th December, 2015. These changes will take effect from 1st January, 2016. 

The Notification is available on the website of the Department www.incometaxindia.gov.in.

Comparison of 7th CPC Pay Matrix in respect of Grade Pay

Comparison of 7th CPC Pay Matrix in respect of Grade Pay

SHRI KHAJA SYED HAMEED HAS PREPARED A COMPARATIVE CHART ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF 7TH CPC WHEREIN INCREASE OF PAY HAS BEEN ANALYSISED ON THE BASIS OF EXISTING GRADE PAY. IN THIS METHOD ALSO GROUP C AND GROUP B EMPLOYEES FOUND SUFFERER. THE STATEMENT AS PREPARED BY HIM IS GIVEN BELOW: 

VII th Pay Commission Injustice 

Dear Sir, 

I am bringing the following to your knowledge and information of Central Government Staff that VIIth Pay commission has done injustice to 98% of the Central Government Staff by just giving a multiplication factor of around 10 times their existing Grade Pay but generously awarded more than 14 times multiplication benefit to higher officials. So please fight for uniform multiplication of 14 times of the Grade pay and for each year of service one increment at the new scale as recommended to retired employees to give justice to all. 

PB I Rs 5200-20200 Grade Pay	Minimum recommended @ entry level by 7th CPC (Rs) in the Pay Matrix	Multiplication factor by VII th pay Commission
1800	18000	10 times
1900	19900 (difference +1900)	10.47
2000	21700(difference +1800)	10.85
2400	25500(difference +3700)	10.62
2800	29200(difference +3800)	10.42

Initially for first 2 stages every Rs100/ in GP the corresponding proposed increase is 1800 0r 1900 but for GP difference of Rs 400/ at later 2 stages the corresponding increase is only Rs3700/ to Rs3800/- whereas it must be Rs1800 0r 1900 multiplied by 4times to Rs7200-7600/.

PB II Rs 9300-34800  Grade Pay	Minimum recommended @ entry level by 7th CPC (Rs) in pay matrix	Multiplication factor by VII th pay Commission
4200	35400(difference +6200)	8.42 times
4600	44900 (difference +9500)	9.76
4800	47600(difference +2700)	9.91
5400	53100(difference +5500)	9.83
Initially for Rs1400/- GP difference the corresponding increase proposed is Rs6200/- but in next stage for Rs400/-GP the proposed hike is mind blowing Rs9500/-,in next stage for Rs200/-GP the increase is Rs2700/- and for Rs600/-GP hike further increase is Rs5500/-

PB III Rs 15600-39100  Grade Pay	Minimum recommended @ entry level by 7th CPC (Rs) in the Pay matrix	Multiplication factor by VII th pay Commission
5400	56100	10.38times
6600	67700 (difference +11600)	10.25
7600	78800(difference +11100)	10.36
For a GP of Rs1200/- difference the hike proposed is Rs11600/- and for another Rs1000/- GP increase the increase given by CPC is Rs 11100/-

PB IV Rs 37400-67000  Grade Pay	Minimum recommended @ entry level by 7th CPC (Rs)in the Pay matrix	Multiplication factor by VII th pay Commission
8700	118500(difference +39700)	13.62 times
8900	131100 (difference +12600)	14.73
10000	144200(difference +13100)	14.42
For a GP increase of Rs1100/- the CPC proposed a hike of Rs39700/- and for a GP difference of Rs200/- the CPC recommended a increase of Rs12600/- and for a GP increase of Rs1100/- the CPC recommended a hike of Rs13100/-

It will easily understood the members of VIIth Pay commission done fixation and recommendation quite irrationally without any uniformity in a whimsical manner. If 14 times multiplication is awarded to all the staff uniformly Min.Basic will be Rs1800* 14 = 25200/-for entry level staff. Kindly publish this in your website. 

Kindly fight for justice. 

Thanking you Sir, 

Yours sincerely 

Dr.Hameed
