Man finds Rs9 crore company registered in his name

A man from Madhya Pradesh has claimed that some unidentified individuals have misused his PAN and Aadhar details to create a fraudulent GST number which was further used to incorporate a private company with a falsely reported turnover of Rs. 9 Crores.

Chandan Soni, a resident of Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, filed a complaint that led the Economic Offences Wing of the Delhi Police to register an FIR and initiate an investigation into the matter.

According to the FIR Chandan discovered the fraudulent activity on July 20, 2022, while filing his Income Tax Return (ITR). He realized that a fake GST number had been created using his PAN card number. “This number was used to establish a firm/company (MG SALES) in the name of Chandan Soni with the address in Gautam Puri, Shahdara,” read the FIR.

Chandan Soni revealed that he neither resides at the mentioned address nor has he registered any such company. The registered company falsely showed a turnover of Rs. 9,10,58,119 in the year 2021-22, and the last GST was filled on July 9, 2022. The GST registration was shown as functional from August 16, 2021, with Aadhaar authentication completed on January 31, 2022, according to the online documents.

The Thatipur police station in Gwalior has filed a Zero FIR in this case. A Zero FIR allows a police station to record a cognizable offense without immediately assigning an FIR number, labeling it as "0."

The Delhi Police’s Economic Offences Wing is now actively investigating this case to uncover the extent of the fraud and the individuals involved in it.
