The government has decided to issue biometric PAN cards to taxpayers across the country to weed out the problem of duplicate and fake ones.

The decision was taken recently by the finance ministry and it comes in the wake of a Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report that asked the income tax department to ensure that a single tax payer is not issued multiple cards.

Biometric cards are those which are authenticated by some unique characteristics of a human like iris,palm,fingertip or face.

This is a good step from the government.
The (I-T) department needs to put in place appropriate controls to weed out the duplicate PANs and also update the position in respect of deceased assessees......
It is a good movement as the PAN card is used for many identification purposes.

Issue of biometric card will help solving issue of duplicate pancards. There is mention of pancards exceeding number of assesses. Presently, Pancard is required for many purposes and even non assessees are required a pancard. Income tax return need not be filed if income is below taxable limit irrespective of holding pancard or not. There will thus always be more pancards than assessees.

The current cards for many purpose are really a burden to citizen.all of them should be replaced by a single card.
