Certificate of identity issued under Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019 shall be a valid proof for PAN Card Application – Government tells Supreme Court
In April 2018 CBDT had amended Form 49 and Form 49AA Application for PAN Card by adding option of selecting “Transgender” along with option of Male and Female.
However, the problem faced by the LGBT community was with respect to the proof to be submitted along with the PAN Application.
A SLP was filed before the Hon’ble Supreme Court seeking reliefs for all the members of the LGBT Community regarding the application form, which has to be given along with application for a PAN Card.
The Union Government in response submitted to the Apex Court that the certificate to be issued under Section 6/7 of the Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019 issued by the District Magistrate will be acceptable along with PAN Card Application.
In view of the submission of the Government, the Supreme Court has disposed off the SLP. ABCAUS Case Law Citation: 4236 (2024) (08) abcaus.in SC
