Seven Years in Jail for Two PAN Cards: A Tax Evasion Warning
A recent court judgment has made it clear that holding more than one PAN card is no longer just a minor issue with a 10,000 fine. In a high-profile case, two individuals were sentenced to seven years in jail for possessing duplicate PANs, one of which was forged. The ruling shows that when a second PAN is linked to fraud or forgery, it becomes a criminal offense under the IPC. Taxpayers with duplicate PANs must act quickly and surrender the extra card to avoid severe legal consequences.
