My friend married to a girl on 28.6.2008. They lived together for 4 months. Thereafter girl left matrimonial house and started to live with her widow mother. After one and half year wife filed case for divorce based on cruelty.
Meantime friend has registered her PAN on the income tax website to get her income and other details. When I came to know about this I explained my friend not to do such a foolish things, because one fine day if his wife came to know about this she will lodge compliant against him with cyber crime wing of police department which can be resulted into imprisonment also.
I would like to know that mere registration of PAN is crime under the Information Technology Act, 2000? What is the quantum of punishment including monitory punishment?
Answer will defer if PAN is registered before wife has left matrimonial home and wife knew that her husband has registered her PAN with the income tax website?
