PAN Misuse? Labourer Receives 9 Crore Income Tax Notice

A labourer who earns on a daily wage basis in Lakhimpur Kheri District has received an income tax notice reflecting Rs 9.3 crore for the financial year 2020-21.

Mohd Saeed, who has been living with his wife in a rented hut in the Katra locality for the last 20 years, stated that he has never given his Aadhaar, PAN or other documents for business purposes.

During the investigations they found that a company named Sun Trading was fraudulently registered under Saeed’s name at two different locations, i.e., Mihipurwa Urra in Bahraich and Khairabad in Sitapur. Eventually, he thought that he had submitted his document in his nearby KYC centre.

Saeed received the notice on Thursday and he was fully stressed because of this. He used to work as a labourer and sometimes cook food at the wedding. He had never heard about this company before. Also said that maybe someone has used his IDs and then performed this huge-scale fraud. He wants the legal case to be filed against the culprit.

In a Recent case five men have been arrested in Uttar Pardesh Special task force (STF) for evading GST. They carried out this fraud by issuing e-way bills using 100 fake firms.

Now, Saeed want justice and he is running from one government office to another office to find out the real culprits.
