A college student from Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, has taken legal action after discovering transactions totaling Rs 46 crore were made from his bank account, according to news agency ANI.
Pramod Kumar Dandotiya, a resident of Gwalior, was alerted to the transactions only after receiving a notice from the income tax department. The notice revealed that a company had been registered using his PAN card and was operating in Mumbai and Delhi in 2021.
Dandotiya, a college student in his twenties, was shocked by the notice. He alleges that his PAN card was unlawfully used to register the firm and conduct transactions amounting to Rs 46 crore in his name.
“I am a college student in Gwalior. After the notice from Income Tax and GST, I came to know that a company has registered through my PAN card which is being operated in Mumbai and Delhi 2021. I do not know how my PAN card has been misused and how the transactions have been done,” he stated.
Despite his efforts to communicate with the income tax department upon receiving the information, Dandotiya claims he received no assistance. It wasn’t until Friday that he managed to file a police complaint after approaching the office of the Additional Superintendent of Police.
Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Shiyaz K M confirmed to ANI, “Today, an application has been received from a youth that transactions amounting to more than Rs 46 crore have been made from his bank account. The documents in this regard are being checked. The PAN card has been misused, a company has been registered through it, and transactions of such a huge amount have been done.”
The case is currently under investigation.
