A shocking story has unfolded in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. A cook helper named Ravindra Singh Chauhan received a notice from the Income Tax Department demanding 46 crore rupees, despite earning a salary of only 8,000 to 10,000 rupees. This unexpected tax demand has created turmoil in his life, leaving him bewildered.
Ravindra Singh Chauhan, who hails from Bhind, stated he works as a cook and that his account rarely sees transactions exceeding 3 lakh rupees annually. However, he was implicated in transactions totaling 46 crore rupees. He obtained his bank statements for the past five years from the Punjab National Bank in Bhind. These statements showed that his total transactions were less than 3 lakh rupees, which seemed highly unusual to him. He urged the bank manager to thoroughly investigate the issue.
The investigation revealed a fraudulent account under Ravindra Singh Chauhan’s name in Uttam Nagar, Delhi. This account still contained 12.5 lakh rupees. Further inquiries indicated that during his employment at a toll company, his supervisor used his documents, under the guise of PF, to open this fake account. This account facilitated the extensive financial dealings.
After his complaints to the police station and other agencies went unanswered, Ravindra Singh Chauhan has now appealed to the Gwalior High Court. The investigation also unveiled that Ravindra has two bank accounts, one each in Bhind and Delhi. The Delhi account is associated with a trading company. The legal process will determine whether the High Court offers him relief from the Income Tax Department’s enormous demand.
