FAQ :
A farmer in Ayodhya has received multiple fake Income Tax and GST notices demanding payment for extremely high turnovers, which he claims are fraudulent and due to the misuse of his PAN details.
The latest notice claims a turnover of Rs 11.91 crore, with previous notices showing Rs 5 crore and Rs 7 crore. The farmer also alleges a GST number was obtained using his PAN, reporting a turnover of Rs 20-25 crore.
It is suspected that someone in New Delhi fraudulently obtained a GST number using the farmer's PAN details and then reported significant turnovers.
The farmer states he has not visited Delhi in 25 years and has never shared his documents with anyone.
Both the Income Tax and GST departments are investigating the matter. Authorities are coordinating to trace the culprits, with GST officials in Ayodhya working with their Delhi counterparts.
This incident highlights the increasing risks associated with the misuse of PAN and GST numbers and the need for better safeguards against identity theft and financial fraud.
