A week after a barber from Sirsa received a notice of ₹37.87 crore from the income tax department, an auto driver in Bhiwani too received a notice of ₹31.67 crore from the income tax department.
Bhiwani resident Raj Singh said that he is working as an auto driver to run the family, and he had received a notice from the income tax department on March 25.
“In the notice, I was told to file the income tax return of ₹31.67 crore for the financial year 2020-21. I suspect that some unknown person had misused my PAN card and Aadhar card to generate a GST number. I have appraised the police officials about the same,” he added.
He said that he is earns ₹500-600 per day to run a family, which includes his wife and son. The driver said that he was shocked after seeing the notice and it seems that someone has misused his documents. He urged the police to take strict action against the fraudster.
A spokesperson of Bhiwani police said that they have told the auto driver to file a reply to the income tax notice and after getting a response from income tax department, they will take a call on the FIR.
Earlier this month a barber identified as Rakesh Kumar of Ali Mohammad village in Sirsa received a notice of ₹37.87 crore from the income tax department. The barber claims that he earns only ₹350-450 per day and is living in a two-room house, which is built on “shamlat land”.
