To curb black money within the country, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in his Budget 2015-16 proposals said quoting of Permanent Account Number (PAN) will be made mandatory for any purchase or sale exceeding the value of Rs. 1 lakh.
The finance minister said that tax authorities are also making provisions to check "splitting of reportable transactions" by people to avoid quoting of the PAN.
The Budget also includes a proposal to prohibit acceptance or payment of an advance of Rs. 20,000 or more in cash for purchase of immovable property.Effective date is yet to come.
