A 22-year-old from Bulandshahr in Western Uttar Pradesh received the shock of his life when he received a notification saying that he owed Rs 24.61 lakh as GST for his business with a Rs 1.36 crore annual revenue. The person, identified as Devendra Kumar, received a notice claiming ownership of a different business with an Rs. 1.16 crore yearly revenue in April.
Kumar, a laborer who has been jobless for a while, reported the situation to the police. After Kumar raised concern that a contractor connected to the business where he had previously worked might have exploited his documents, the case was later turned over to the Gautam Buddha Nagar police for additional investigation.
Kumar bemoaned the notices and hassle, asking how someone like him could own a multi-billion dollar business.
"I am a man without a job. I used to make Rs 300 per day working as a laborer at a construction site in Naraura. I no longer even hold that job. How am I able to own a business worth crores of rupees?" questioned Kumar.
Kumar claimed that two years ago, he worked for a company in Noida. His Pan card and Aadhar had been seized by the contractor.
He stated that he had paid about Rs 40,000 to file an FIR in connection with the case.
Since this all began, I have been rushing to my offices in Ghaziabad, Noida, and Bulandshahr. Even a single trip from my village to the SP office in Bulandshahr is expensive, said Kumar. In accordance with IPC Sections 420, 467, 468, and 471, the police have filed an FIR.
