A Bhayander-based housewife, whose husband earns a salary of Rs 27,000, has been slapped with a notice by the Thane’s Income Tax department for bank transactions worth Rs 20 crore. The woman, identified as Asha Devichand Jain, has responded to the IT department, claiming that someone had fraudulently carried out the transactions in her name.
Jain who resides at Fero Complex on Bakol Street in Bhayander West, was sent a notice by the Thane office of the IT department on March 29, stating that she had withdrawn Rs 20,470 crore from two separate accounts of ICICI Bank and DCB Bank in the financial year of 2016-17. Jain, who claims to have not made any such transactions, then went to the bank to make enquiries. She found out that someone had used her PAN and Aadhaar card to start a company called Siddhi Enterprises, and the company had carried out numerous transactions in Mumbai and other cities.
