Rajasthan Artisan Faces ₹6.78 Crore GST Notice Over Fake Firm
Jitendra Kumar Jingar makes leather shoes in a small town in Rajasthan.
He earned only a few thousand rupees a month.
One day, he found out that a company called Shivam Exports was using his personal ID to do business in Tamil Nadu.
The government said he owed a huge amount of tax, about ₹6.78 crore, and froze his bank account.
Jitendra says he never started a company or traveled to Tamil Nadu.
He thinks someone used his documents when he applied for a loan in 2018.
Local officials told him to file a police report and investigate the fake registration.
His family is staying with his brother while he tries to fix the problem.
Jitendra Kumar Jingar, a leather shoe maker in Balotra, Rajasthan, received a ₹6.78 crore GST recovery notice.
The notice claims his PAN was used to register Shivam Exports in Tamil Nadu, a company he denies owning.
His bank account was frozen on 28 July after the notice, affecting his monthly earnings of ₹10,000–₹15,000.
Jitendra suspects identity documents were misused during a 2018 loan application with a finance company in Barmer.
Local officials advise him to file an FIR with the Cyber Crime Police and investigate the fraudulent registration.
