Mumbai News: 48-Year-Old UAE-Based Consultant Files Forgery Case After Receiving False ₹2.84 Crore GST Notice From Income Tax Dept; Claims PAN Misuse

Mumbai: A 48-year-old man, who works in UAE for an aviation consultancy, has filed a police complaint against unidentified frauds after receiving a notice from the Income Tax (I-T) department, seeking Rs 2.84 crore GST on business income of Rs 13.8 crore.

Jitendra Adsool, a resident of Santacruz, was left befuddled as the notice claimed that he ran a firm named ‘Cultural Traders’ between 2019 and 2022. The man asserted that he never had any business or transaction of that sort. The Vakola police have registered a forgery case.

He alleged that he had even approached the I-T department, however, his grievance was not addressed. According to the FIR, on March 17, Adsool received the notice, after which his family consulted their chartered accountant (CA), who contacted the tax department.

He apparently came to know Adool's PAN card was forged and misused. The CA even conveyed the same to the I-T department, claimed the aggrieved. The family decided to approach the police after repeatedly receiving emails from the I-T department.
