Showing PAN-Aadhaar for Covid treatment not practical: Experts

It would have been more effective, they say, if the exemption in cash payment had been given without any caveats and for a longer period

The income tax (I-T) department's condition of furnishing permanent account number (PAN) or Aadhaar number of both the patient and payee for making cash payments for Covid treatment has drawn flak from experts.
 
According to them, it would have been more effective if the exemption (in cash payment) had been given without any caveats and for a longer period.
 
On Friday, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) had said that hospitals, nursing homes, Covid care centres, or similar medical facilities providing treatment for coronavirus can accept cash payment of Rs 2 lakh or more till May 31.
