A college student in Madhya Pradesh has filed a police complaint after transactions of Rs 46 crore occurred from his bank account, news agency ANI reported.
Pramod Kumar Dandotiya, a resident of Gwalior, came to know about the transactions only when he received a notice from the income tax department. The income tax and GST informed him that a company had been registered using his PAN card and was being operated in Mumbai and Delhi 2021.
Dandotiya, who is a college student in his 20s, was caught unawares by the notice. He claims his PAN card was misused to register the firm and carry out transactions worth Rs 46 crore in his name.
“I am a college student in Gwalior. After the notice from Income Tax and GST, I came to know that a company has registered through my PAN card which is being operated in Mumbai and Delhi 2021. I do not know how my PAN card has been misused and how the transactions have been done,” he said.
He further said that his efforts to talk to the income tax department after receiving the information bore no fruit. Attempts to file a police complaint also went in vain until Friday, when he reached the office of Additional Superintendent of Police and lodged his complaint again.
Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Shiyaz K M told ANI, “Today, an application has been received from a youth that transactions amount of more than Rs 46 crore has been made from his bank account. The documents in this regard are being checked. The PAN card has been misused, a company has been registered through it and transactions of such a huge amount have been done.”
The matter is under investigation.
