Delhi: 2 held for GST fraud in Haryana, UP
Two members of a syndicate were arrested for generating fake Goods and Services Tax (GST) invoices to the tune of crores of rupees using PAN cards and mobile phone numbers of several people, police said on Saturday. The accused also replaced the contact details of genuine GST-registered firms on the website of the GST department and used them to generate false invoices, police said. Police are investigating the syndicate. (Representational image) The accused were identified as Inderpal Singh, 45, who is a lawyer, and his associate Sandeep Kumar, 27. The complaint in this case was registered recently by a businessman who said that when he applied for GST registration for his firm, he discovered that two GST numbers had already been issued on his PAN card without his knowledge. 'The fraudsters also acquired SIM cards using the complainant's Aadhaar card. We registered a case of impersonation, cheating, forgery, and criminal conspiracy and started an investigation,' said deputy commissioner of police (southwest) Amit Goel. Police approached the GST department and acquired the details of the two firms for which GST numbers had been issued using the complainant's PAN card. Police found that the two firms' listed addresses were fake. Police managed to track down one of the accused through technical surveillance and manual verification, and arrested Sandeep Kumar from Panipat in Haryana. Kumar revealed that he was an employee of Inderpal Singh, and they created bogus firms, police said. Police then arrested Singh from Shamli in Uttar Pradesh, the DCP said. 'They obtained details of firms registered under the GST Act from other members of the syndicate. Their associates provided them with the login details of the firms. After logging into the accounts on the GST department's website,the accused replaced the email IDs and phone numbers linked to the firms with their own. Then they contacted those who needed GST bills, and issued fake bills on the names of these firms. Inderpal revealed that he procured details of GST-registered firms from his associate by paying ₹ 25,000 to ₹ 30,000. His earnings were in lakhs of rupees through the cyber fraud,' added DCP Goel. Three smartphones, one laptop and a pen drive used by the accused to commit the cyber fraud were recovered, police said.

Bank Locker Holders Alert: Bank Locker Could Be Sealed If You Miss THIS Agreement Deadline– Details Here
New Delhi: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has introduced new rules that require all locker holders to sign an updated rental agreement with their bank. Failing to do so may lead to your locker being sealed. Banks have also stepped up security measures to protect locker contents but it's equally important for customers to stay compliant with the latest regulations. The RBI, back in August 2021 has directed all banks to sign updated rental agreements with their existing locker holders. This move came after several customer complaints, technical changes, and instructions from the Supreme Court. The goal is to improve transparency and strengthen the security of locker services provided by banks. What happens if you don't sign the updated locker agreement? If you haven't signed the revised locker agreement, your bank locker could be sealed. Banks are now seeking permission from the RBI and the government to send final reminders to customers who haven't complied, and may go ahead with sealing lockers if necessary. So, it's best to act soon to avoid losing access to your locker. Banks Request More Time to Meet Locker Agreement Deadline To ensure all customers get enough time, banks have asked the RBI to extend the current deadline from March 2024 to December 2025. Originally, the RBI had set January 1, 2023, as the deadline for banks to sign new locker agreements with customers. However, due to delays—mainly from lack of awareness and incomplete paperwork—the deadline was extended twice already, first to December 2023 and then to March 2024. Even after multiple deadline extensions, many customers still haven't signed the updated locker agreement. Not Sure If You've Signed the New Locker Agreement? Here's What to Do If you haven't signed the new agreement yet, make sure to visit your bank and complete the process. If you're unsure whether you've already signed it, simply check with your bank branch—they'll let you know if anything is pending. It's better to confirm now than face issues later. Documents Required for Signing the New Bank Locker Agreement: - PAN card - Aadhaar card - Passport (as an additional ID proof, if needed) - Old locker agreement/documents (related to your existing locker) - Nominee details – Add a nominee if you haven't already
