Jan Dhan accounts were opened by poor people with hope of getting Rs.5000/- in their accounts. Bank's were assigned huge targets. Forget AADHAR/PAN many didn't even have proper ID proofs and accounts were opened based on Panchayat's certificate. I have witnessed this myself.Jan Dhan account are opened on the basis of AADHAR card, not PAN card. That means bio-metric data, name and address.
Also there is no statutory limitations on tax review. There is only period of limitation on your filings.
It does not matter if the money is withdrawn. What matter is following the line of enquiry till they reach the Real culprit. The IT dept will have a definite line of enquiry, especially if the line of enquiry one or more Jan dhan account leads to the same person.
Then what follows is the usual IT raid that will either uncover cash, or property or movable assets hidden in his house, farm houses, vehicles or bank lockers.
No tax review can be done for income six years earlier, even for a raid, as per Income Tax sections 153/148.
IT raid sounds very easy but it is not so easy. One IT officer only raids 4/5 times in one year. This is followed by close examination of the documents found in raid and finally assessment. The process is time taking. And here we are talking about lakhs of accounts where money has been deposited. IT department is only capable of examining very high deposits with their current manpower. Ask any income tax official and he will confirm the problem of conducting thousands/lakhs of IT raids.
