Hyderabad: Stolen identity, fake firm and a Rs 32.57 crore GST notice
HYDERABAD: A case has been registered after fraudsters allegedly misused the PAN, Aadhaar and other personal details of a Delhi resident to obtain a GST registration in Hyderabad, leaving him facing a proposed penalty of Rs 32.57 crore.
According to the complaint, Kartik Jain, a permanent resident of New Delhi, has never lived, conducted business or maintained an office in Hyderabad or Telangana. He said he neither applied for GST registration for Jain Enterprises nor authorised anyone to obtain one on his behalf.
Jain learnt about the fraudulent registration in October 2024 and immediately approached the Principal Commissioner, Hyderabad GST Commissionerate, seeking an investigation and removal of his PAN from the GST records.
