In a shocking case related to the Income Tax Department has come to the light in Bihar's Gaya district. A labourer, whose monthly income is just Rs 10,000 has received an unexpected notice of Rs 2 crore. This significant case of negligence of the IT Department has become a grave concern for him and his family leading to emotional and financial strain.

The labourer, Rajiv Kumar Verma, is a resident of Nai Godam under Kotwali police station area. After receiving the notice, he and his family were left shocked and distressed.

After receiving the notice, Rajiv has been visiting the Income Tax Department office continously for the past few days seeking clarification and resolution. However, the issue remains unresolved.

As explained by Rajiv, he deposited Rs 2 lakh in a fixed deposit account at the Corporation Bank branch in Gaya on January 22, 2015. However, he withdrew the amount prematurely on August 16, 2016.

During his visit to the Income Tax office, he was advised to file an appeal regarding the notice. Officials said that if an error occurred it could be for a technical issue and he could seek justice through the appeal.

Adding to his distress, he was also issued a deadline to pay Rs 67 lakh as fine within two days.

Rajiv said that he is not even aware what Income Tax is. He also said that how a person earning Rs 10,000 a month can file a tax return.

He also said that even if he worked as a labourer his entire life he would still never be able to earn such a huge amount.
