GST News Update: Till now, cases of opening bank accounts through cyber fraud by misusing Aadhaar have been continuously coming to the fore. But a shocking case has come to light from Patan district of Gujarat. A youth resident of Doodkha village, who works as a mechanic in Ahmedabad, has received a tax notice of Rs 1.96 crore from the Bengaluru GST Department. This is a big blow for a young man who earns only Rs 16-17 thousand a month and supports his family.
Sunil Sathwara is an ordinary mechanic who supports his family by doing small jobs. Seeing the tax notice of Rs 1.96 crore from the GST Department (Goods and Services Tax Department) from Bengaluru, the ground slipped from under his feet.
When he contacted the lawyer regarding this notice and the lawyer checked the GST number online, he came to know that 11 companies are being operated in the name of Sunil Sathwara, which are in different states of the country. These companies are operating in states like Ayodhya of Uttar Pradesh, Aligarh, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Tripura, Nagpur of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andaman Nicobar.
Investigation revealed that fake Aadhar Card and PAN Card were used in the name of Sunil. It is a matter of investigation as to how and who created so many companies in the name of Sunil, are these companies actually running or are they running only in name. Sunil and his family have filed a complaint in the Home Department and Crime Branch regarding this entire matter. He says that his documents have been used fraudulently.
