A Tea seller from Gujarat received an income tax notice and imposed a penalty of Rupees 49 crores for unscrupulous transactions.
Khemraj Dave, the tea seller said that “I received the third notice on Aug 23, 2023, after which I went to an advocate who informed that a penalty of Rupees 49 crores for unscrupulous transactions has been imposed for carrying out unscrupulous transactions for the financial year 2015-2016”.
Dave mentioned that he had been serving tea at the office of Alpesh Patel and Vipul Patel from Unjha in Mehsana, who had been running a brokerage business in the Patan commodity. Dave sought the help of the two to obtain PAN Card for him.
Signature and other relevant details were collected from him and was made to believe that the same will be submitted to the Income Tax Department to process PAN Card.
Dave later came to know that an account has been operating in his name. But actually, the accounts were used by Alpesh and Unjha. Dave hence filed a case before the local police.
Following Dave’s complaint, the B Division police of Patan city police registered complaint for forgery, breach of trust, criminal conspiracy etc.
