Tax Department sent Rs.114 Crore Income Tax Notice to Daily Wage Earner of Rs.400

The Income Tax Department recently sent a huge amount Tax Notice worth Rs.114 Crore to a daily wage earner who earns a minimum of Rs. 400 per day.

Imagine you are a small artisan earning Rs.400-Rs.500 per day through hard work. In such a case, receiving an income tax notice in your name for crores of rupees will come as a shock.

Phool Mian, a zari artist from Kangi Tola near Kila police station in Bareilly, experienced this incident. Phool Mian, who makes Rs.400 per day doing zari work, has received a notice of Rs.114 crore in income tax arrears. This notice was issued in his name on behalf of a Delhi-based firm that has generated Rs.232 crore in revenue over the last five years.

In 2018, Phool Mian approached a local resident, Guddu Sundar alias Uwais, who used to help unemployed people get work abroad. Guddu introduced him to Nanhe, also known as Suhail, who obtained Phool Mian’s Aadhaar, PAN card, and other relevant documents by promising him a job abroad. Phool Mian was also required to sign certain documents. These guys, in order to escape the talk of offering a job under the guise of Corona, established a firm in his name in Delhi, which generated a profit of crores.

When Phool Mian received notice from the Income Tax Department in February 2024, he contacted SP City Manush Parik. SP City confirmed that this is a case of major fraud. A case of creating a fake firm in the name of a poor artisan, such as Phool Mian, and fraudulently earning two billion rupees has been revealed. All of the accused in the case will be arrested soon. If the name of another accused is discovered during the police inquiry, he will be arrested as well.

The police have filed a case against the accused for fraud, forgery, and producing fraudulent documents. Guddu alias Uwais, Nanhe alias Suhail, and Delhi resident Asif Khan alias Abdul Razzaq are said to be the primary suspects in this case. The police are extensively examining the case and have promised to take strict action by arresting the suspects as soon as possible.
