• Fraud bank account

I had a unregistred partnership firm naming Gokul Shopping with PAN card of the firm in Category of ""FIRM"".
had also filled returns using the pan card in past.

My manager Deepak Singh but somehow have managed to open a bank account in name of Gokul Shopping and have declared himself as a proprietor . and collects the rent cheque and deposits in this account. around 30 lakhs have been deposited through this , i was not aware as my father was looking at the business.

when i was checking the TDS statement of my firms pan card, tds is deducted on my firm's name but the amount has been deposited in the account opened by Deepak Singh.

My question is what should be my line of action . i have tds certificates with me.

Hello,

File a FIR against the person for cheating, criminal breach of trust and fraud at the earliest before he runs away.

Write and complaint and give the same to the police along with the TDS certificate.

Cheating in India (section 415 of IPC)

Fraudulent execution of deed of transfer containing false statement of consideration. (Section 423)

This is a variety of fraudulent execution which deals with-

False recital as to consideration and

False recital as to the name of beneficiary

In legal terminology, “Whoever dishonestly or fraudulently signs,executes or becomes a party to any deed or instrument which purports to transfer or subject to any charge, any property, or any interest therein, and which contains any false statement relating to the consideration for such transfer or charge, or relating to the person or persons for whose use or benefit it is really intended to operate, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to two years, or with fine or with both”. Punishment is imprisonment upto 2 years with or without fine and it is a bailable offence.

So, you have major proof in your hand plus you can have stay on that account and get locked that amount.

Immediately you have to file a case of [deleted] of IPC against Pankaj Singh and by making the party to the bank, as without the authorisation of the partner for it's PAN card cannot be used and he cannot be made signatury as he is not the partner of the firm.

You have to file FIR against against the bank and him and if police do not register the FIR then you can register your FIR under section 156 (3)of CRPC in the criminal court.

If the TDs is deducted from your income you need to claim if applicable. Assign a good ca for the same. It has become slightly complex.

This is my response to you:

1. Since you have an unregistered firm, that creates a problem for you, as per law it should have been registered;

2. But you can send a legal notice to this Deepak Singh;

3. You can also make a formal complaint to the Registrar about the illegal firm;

4. You can approach the police and file an FIR u/s 417, 419, 471 (if applicable);

5. Consult a local lawyer and take steps.

This appears to be a case of misappropriation.

Did you enquire the manager about this, what was his reply.

If you find something suspicious, you can lodge a criminal complaint against with the police him besides terminating his services and also issue legal notice demanding the return of misappropriated amount.
