Ex-employer uses man's documents to open firm
Rajkot: A 35-year-old man, Nikunj Javiya, who works as a glazing consultant in Morbi, had been enduring sleepless nights for years after getting notices from the income tax (I-T) department. The taxmen said transactions worth Rs 3.58 crore had been carried out through a bank account linked to Javiya's PAN card — an account he was unaware of and never declared in his income tax returns. Javiya on Thursday filed an FIR at Wankaner City police station against his former employer, Aamin Rehmani, for forgery, alleging that Rehmani opened a bank account using his personal documents and conducted high-value transactions through it. According to Javiya, he worked for Rehmani's ceramics company in 2015-16. At this time, he kept a file with his personal documents — passport, PAN card, photographs and other important papers — in the drawer of his office desk. The office was reportedly vandalized once when he was away. Javiya later left the job, forgetting that his documents were still in the office. A month later he realized his documents were missing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cuối cùng, chơi miễn phí game chiến thuật hay nhất 2025! Sea of Conquest Phát ngay Undo On contacting Rehmani, the documents were returned — albeit three weeks later. Javiya then moved on with his life, taking up a new job. His peace was shattered on March 26, 2021, when he got a notice from the I-T department directing him to file a return for the 2017-18 financial year. He complied, unaware that a bigger storm was brewing. On March 16, 2022, he got an I-T notice saying he had failed to declare high-value transactions totalling Rs 3.58 crore in his return. Alarmed, Javiya hired a chartered accountant, who discovered that a firm had been registered in Javiya's name, with his PAN details, and an account was opened for the firm at a private bank in Wankaner. The high-value transactions took place in the 2017–18 fiscal year. The account was never disclosed by Javiya because he had no knowledge of its existence. Despite informing the I-T department of the fraud, Javiya got another notice in May 2022, demanding that he pay the tax dues and penalties and explain the transactions. Javiya then went to the police alleging forgery and fraud. During their inquiry, police summoned the bank manager and got the documents used to open the account. The documents were indeed Javiya's, but the signature on the account opening form was not his. "The firm had been registered with a gram panchayat. The certificate used to open the bank account had originally been issued in the name of Aamin Rehmani. It was tampered with, and the name was changed to Javiya's," the police complaint states.
