The Finance (No.2) Bill, 2009 had introduced a new section 206AA in the Income-tax Act, 1961 (ITA), which provides that every recipient of income is required to furnish its Permanent Account Number (PAN) i.e. tax registration number to the payer. From the new financial year, Assessees will have to pay a higher income tax at source if they do not have a Permanent Account Number (PAN). Tax at higher of the prescribed rate or 20 percent will be deducted on all transactions liable to tax deduction at source (TDS), if the person liable to the tax does not possess a PAN.
ICAI has recently conducted examination for CA students in May 2010. In examination in the paper of Corporate law and Accountancy ICAI has asked questions on topics which were excluded by ICAI by various announcement from the syllabus. Students were asked 18 Marks questions from the subjects which were not part of the syllabus. Considering the fact that CA students fail to pass the CA examination by just one mark, It seems to be injustice with them if they don’t be given credit for the questions which were not part of the syllabus.
