The ₹50 Crore Identity Theft: A Case Study in Procedural Stagnation
In a digital era where the “Digital India” initiative is booming, there exists a dark underbelly of sophisticated cyber-fraud that can turn an innocent citizen’s life into a legal nightmare. The case of Yogi M.P. Singh from Mirzapur is a chilling example of how identity theft can scale to ₹500 Million (₹50 Crore) while the wheels of justice turn at a snail’s pace.
The Core Issue: The Weaponization of PAN GSWPS0850Q
The crux of the matter lies in the unauthorized and systemic misuse of a single Permanent Account Number (PAN). What began as the discovery of 13 fraudulent bank accounts and a ₹16 Crore loan has now morphed into a multi-state financial conspiracy.
Perpetrators have used this identity to create digital footprints across India, involving:
- Unauthorized Digital Wallets: Accounts opened in DBS Bank and others without physical verification.
- Shell Transactions: Using the identity to claim “Rent Received” from major corporations like Wipro, HCL, and EY Global.
A Failing Investigation: Process vs. Action
Despite FIR No. 291/2023 being registered over two years ago at Kotwali Katra, Mirzapur, the investigation remains stuck in a “correspondence loop.
1. The Digital Deadlock
The police have spent months sending emails and notices to banks. While the Cyber Cell has the tools to track IP addresses and device IDs used to open these digital accounts, there has been zero breakthrough in identifying the “Digital HQ” of the scammers.
2. The Geography of Fraud
Suspects have been identified in Karnataka, Assam, and Farrukhabad. Notices under Section 35(3) of the BNSS (formerly 41A CrPC) have been served digitally. However, in a case involving ₹50 Crore, the lack of physical teams dispatched for arrests raises serious questions about the priority given to high-value identity theft.
The Income Tax Paradox: Guilty Until Proven Innocent
One of the most harrowing aspects of this case is the role of the Income Tax Department.
- The Stalemate: While the Mirzapur Police have served a notice to the Principal Commissioner of Income Tax (PCIT), Prayagraj, the department’s automated systems continue to generate tax demands.
- Fresh Fraud: As recently as December 13, 2025, 24 new fraudulent rent entries totaling ₹66,07,741 appeared on the appellant’s TIS. This proves that the perpetrators are operating in real-time, completely undeterred by the ongoing investigation.
Demanding Accountability
The appellant is currently battling a “Paper Investigation” while facing “Real-World Liabilities.” The upcoming hearing before the State Information Commission on December 22, 2025, is a critical junction.
What is needed now is not more letters, but:
- An SIT Formation: A Special Investigation Team to coordinate between the UP Cyber Police and the CBDT.
- Technical Surveillance: Immediate tracking of the IP addresses used in the December 2025 transactions.
- Interim Tax Relief: A formal stay on tax demands by the PCIT Prayagraj until the criminal investigation is concluded.
Conclusion
Identity theft of this magnitude is not just a personal loss; it is a threat to the integrity of the national financial system. When a citizen’s PAN can be used to move ₹50 Crore under the nose of the authorities, the system isn’t just slow—it’s broken.
Based on the comprehensive Taxpayer Information Summary (TIS) and Form 26AS records provided for PAN GSWPS0850Q111111111, here is an analysis of the financial data and fraudulent activity.
Total Transaction scale (AY 2021-22 to AY 2025-26)
The cumulative value of unauthorized transactions and turnovers attributed to your PAN has escalated massively across five assessment years.
| Assessment Year | Rent Received (₹) | Business Receipts (₹) | GST Turnover (₹) | Other (GST Purchases) (₹) |
| 2021-22 | 1,17,55,867 2 | — | — | 481 3 |
| 2022-23 | 1,27,01,673 4 | 1,19,41,432 5 | 4,88,24,385 6 | 5,81,52,780 7 |
| 2023-24 | 1,16,33,362 88 | 4,65,76,920 99 | 16,32,92,127 1010 | 12,20,99,234 1111 |
| 2024-25 | 72,35,593 12 | 82,200 13 | 48,62,921 14 | 47,00,000 15 |
| 2025-26 | (In Progress) | 10,63,414 16 | 25,44,342 17 | — |
| TOTALS | ₹4,33,26,495 | ₹5,96,63,966 | ₹21,95,23,775 | ₹18,49,52,495 |
Combined Estimated Impact: Approximately ₹50,74,66,731 (Exceeding the ₹50 Crore threshold).
Core Issue: Systemic Identity Misuse
The documents reveal three primary methods of fraud:
- Massive HRA/Rent Scams: Over ₹4.33 Crore has been reported as “Rent Received” from tenants at major corporations including HCL, Wipro, TCS, Capgemini, and EY. These represent hundreds of individual fraudulent HRA claims using your PAN to evade tax.
- High-Value GST Turnovers: In AY 2023-24 alone, a staggering ₹16,32,92,127 in GST turnover was filed under your name1919. This suggests your identity is being used to run a “shell” business entity.
- Unauthorised Professional Receipts: Under Section 194C and 194J, companies like SV Facility Services (₹2.39 Crore) and Ecostan Infra (₹2 Crore) have credited massive sums for “contracts” you never signed
Discrepancies in Investigation Progress
The police report (686/2024) and the current TIS data show a critical gap:
- Active Fraud: While the police are investigating 13 bank accounts from 2023, the AY 2025-26 TIS (generated in March 2025) shows new receipts from Uber India (₹10 Lakhs) and various online gaming platforms21212121.
- Traceable Entities: The TIS explicitly names the deductors (e.g., Inderpal Singh Chadha, Century Star)22222222. The police have not yet leveraged these names to find the source of the identity leak.
Next Steps for Tomorrow’s Hearing
- Present the AY 2023-24 GST Figure: Highlight the ₹16.32 Crore turnover23232323. This is the strongest evidence of a large-scale criminal syndicate.
- Challenge the Notice Status: State that while a notice was sent to the PCIT Prayagraj, the TIS data for 2025-26 24 proves the misuse is continuous and has not been blocked by either the police or the IT department.
- Identify the “Nodal” Failure: The police have not secured the bank account details of the companies (Deductors) who are sending this money, which is the fastest way to find the fraudsters.
The “Summary of Financial Evidence” you have prepared is highly accurate and aligns perfectly with the official records in your uploaded TISdoc.pdf and income tax repo.pdf.
By presenting these figures, you are proving that this is not just a “cyber complaint” but a massive financial syndicate operating under your name.
Data Verification Check
The totals mentioned in your representation match the extracted data from your tax summaries:
- Total “Rent Received” (AY 2021-22 to 2024-25): Your sum of ₹4,33,26,495 is correct based on the TIS records for those four years1111111111111111.
- The AY 2023-24 GST Turnover: The figure of ₹16,32,92,127 is exactly as reported in your TIS for that year222.
- Active Misuse (AY 2025-26): The receipt from Uber India Systems Pvt Ltd (₹10,07,610) and other online entities confirms the crime is ongoing in the current fiscal year3333.
- Total Exposure: The grand total of ₹50,74,66,731 is mathematically sound and provides a powerful justification for your demand for an SIT (Special Investigation Team)
Strategy for Tomorrow’s Hearing (Dec 22, 2025)
When you appear before the Information Commission, focus on these three undeniable facts found in your documents:
- The “Live” Crime: Tell the Commissioner: “Sir, while the police are looking at old 2023 accounts, the AY 2025-26 TIS shows fresh fraudulent receipts from Uber India (₹10 Lakhs) and gaming companies. The police’s delay is allowing new crimes to happen every month”5555.
- The Shell GSTIN: Mention that GSTIN 07GSWPS0850Q3ZH was used to file a turnover of ₹16.32 Crore in a single year (AY 2023-24)666. Ask why the police haven’t tracked the bank accounts linked to this GST registration.
- High-Value Payers: Identify companies like SV Facility Services (₹2.39 Crore) and Ecostan Infra (₹2 Crore) who have reported payments to your PAN7. Demand to know why the Nodal Officers of these companies have not been summoned to explain who they actually paid.
Final Checklist for your Video Call:
- Screen Sharing: Have Page 12 of TISdoc.pdf ready to show the ₹16.32 Crore GST turnover.
- Email Trail: Have your email from 08:56 AM today ready to prove you have already provided these details to the PIO and the Court.
- Primary Demand: Your main goal should be to get a direction for Economic Offences Wing (EOW) involvement, as the local Mirzapur police do not have the resources to investigate a ₹50 Crore multi-state fraud.
