The government has decided to issue biometric PAN cards to taxpayers across the country.
A decision to this effect 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.
The proposed new biometric Permanent Account Number (PAN) cards would bear the I-T assessee’ fingerprints (two from each hand) and the face.
An option to existing PAN card holders to opt for the biometric cards would also be offered.
