The father of a youngster filed a police complaint on Sunday, alleging that conmen had used his son's PAN card to carry out transactions amounting to crores. The father said the young man received notices from the income tax department over transactions he had not made. An FIR has been registered at Sushant Lok police station, the police said.
In March, the Income Tax department also issued a notice to Pushpinder Singh's son Divyarup Singh Mann, who is studying at the Australian National University in Canberra, for not declaring sources of income for the financial year 2020-21.
Pushpinder Singh added, "Even the email had yet another alert showing a Rs 8.1 lakh linked to my son's PAN Card."
This year, on April 12, Divyarup received another notice from the Income Tax department stating that sales of Rs 133.8 crore were recorded under his GST return.
"My son replied to those notices explaining that he had never conducted such transactions. He was in his twenties at the time and still pursuing his degree when someone else fraudulently misused his documents. We seek that appropriate legal action be commenced," the complainant said.
The police said the case has been transferred to the Economic Offences Wing for investigation. The officer said a case has been registered under IPC sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 419 (cheating by personation) and the offense of cheating, impersonating as someone else, or using forged documents is punishable with varying sentences.
