Rotation of 50 Lakh Performed on Credit Card (HELP PLEASE)

I'm an old user of DD, but I have created this new account for my problem 'coz I'm not feeling comfortable with my actual account.
I'll try to sum up my whole issue here in the hopes that someone can help me because I'm really stuck badly.
I have been completing my master's degree in London, UK, for the past two years.
Before I left India, I gave my family my Indian SIM card, credit card, and a few other crucial documents. One of my cousins deployed my credit card to make purchases during sales, promotions, and other events. I had an HDFC bank credit card with a 10 Lakh limit.
In summary, we can say that he has been using my card for the past one to two years, but last week, when I returned to India, I was shocked by something unexpected.
Out of the 10 lakh credit limit, 5 lakh was used for the Smart EMI option, where EMI was detected each month. The remaining 5 lakh was rotated by him each month. In other words, we can say that he spent the full 10 lakh and was left with no money to return to the bank, so he began using the remaining credit limit to rotate the money back to pay credit card bills. When I downloaded the bank statements from the previous year, I nearly passed out because each statement was for 4 or 5 lakh, and he paid these enormous statements by withdrawing the remaining balance from the credit card and applying it back to the bank.
He rotated 5 lakh using all of the kids' rent payment platforms and credit to bank transfer platforms each month. To enable these transfers, he had to pay hefty fees each month totaling 15k.
Here's the big problem: I haven't filed my ITR for the past two years, therefore yesterday I received a notice indicating as much.
You do not appear to have filed an Income Tax Return for Assessment Year 2023-24 (relating to FY 2022-23). Some significant information available with the Income Tax Department includes the following: Miscellaneous payment - Rs 48,75,782
The last date for filing Income tax return for Assessment Year 2023-24 (relating to FY 2022-23) is <31st December 2023>
Yes, they are inquiring as to the purpose of these 50 lakh payments.
The second communication is from HDFC Bank directly, and they're questioning me about what on earth I was doing with my credit card, to which I had no response, 'coz I had no idea of anything.
I had no idea what was going on with my credit card or anything else in India because this dumbass had tricked me by changing my email address and obtaining my Indian phone number!
When I phoned my cousin, who left India last month, and asked him what the heck he was doing with my credit card, he answered so casually. Whoa! Please don't worry, I'll return your money. and as of right now, I owe 10 Lakh. Even this month's credit card statement also shows a staggering 5.2 lakh.
I came to India to enjoy some time with my family after a long time away, and I was taken shocked by this. I feel afraid stuck, and worried right now.
I have a 10 Lakh debit, my ITR is not submitted, and they are questioning me about 50 Lakh. What's worse is that this is related to FY 2022–2023, which means I will receive similar notifications for the next Assessment Year as well because this has been going on for more than 20 months.
Please let me know what to do, I need some advice.Naturally, I need a CA first, but how in the world am I going to explain this to him? I have no idea how much the solution will end up costing!
Please assist if you have any knowledge or experience.
Can u pls tell me why you tag me?
Have been hearing so many stories like this recently. No alternative other than consulting a CA.
This is the exact reason, I wrote this post: https://www.desidime.com/discussions/warning-fo...
Never give your sim and email to anyone irrespective of changing country or planet. No matter how much you trust them, Don't know how come you didn't see any statement/spends for over 2 years. Also, since you are an old member of DD, and hence you would be aware of cheats, frauds, offers, deals and money rotation.... So it just sounds plain dumb to be.
Sorry for your pathetic situation but hope you get thru it. Bless you ...
Relatives cause lot of money problems..never trust
Don't Panic, Go to some known/good CA, tell them the same story, and they will help you out.
I'd also suggest consulting a lawyer and filing a case against that cheater "vibhishan"... You can atleast try to show that it happened without your knowledge and the email, card and sim was swindled out of you while you wanted safe custody of it while abroad and it was misused by that guy...
In my opinion, launch a FIR against your cousin because you do not know yet what other things he has did behind your absence, prove authorities you were outside India and someone has done financial frauds
Or Pay everything to bank and income tax department 😔
Consult a good CA & file ITR. Be ready with Notice & settlements amount could be xyz depends on how good CA you find.
Have a walkthrough with your Cousin Parents & ask for settlements & all bill clearances before you leave. If it happened with mutual understanding it will be nice else jackup lawyer too
You can take a sympathetic stand that, to reimburse the foreign study expenses, your family took some hand loan in India and due to its repayment pressure, managing it by credit card rotation every month.
may b u were enjoing penny cashbacks or milestones.
Underrated comment of the year ..
File a police report against that backstabber. Another advice ? Apne baap ko bhi trust maat Karo aur yeh toh cousin hai.
Aur woh cousin ke parents kya keh rahe the?
I can only make five remarks/ Comments.
1. Post of the year
2. I hate the statement, " Don't worry".
3. This is how to turn someone's life completely into hell cold bloodedly.
4. Run back to abroad asap.
5. Smart move by OP making new account then posting otherwise people would have beat the shit out of him.
i think i know who op is. paji old account se post kardete koi chakkar hi nahi, koi baat nahi yeh sabke saath hota hai.
easy solution- if you plan to give up Indian citizenship then chill
hard solution- you need a good ca and since that relative is out of country then you will be solely responsible to payback and fine
Giving Up Indian citizenship is not easy you need to pay all taxes before giving up citizenship
find a good ca
tell him everything, he will show business revenue and will show a profit as well fro safety, pay tax and you are 80% safe
if in future inquiry or anything happens then pay and settle up
Everything is done by friend/ Relative/ Cousins
"I have no Idea" is permanent.
Like Cameraman never dies.
I still can't believe how such an old dimer didn't check his statements, emails, etc. Op went to London, not another planet where Internet won't work.
Or maybe the op here is actually that cousin in disguise.
His cousin usually use to come to this community to ask how to Make Cc to Bank transfer.
If 100% sure, that your cousin did. First, file an FIR on your cousin and make him arrested. Even ask him and his family to solve this problem
Height of hypocrisy by banks
5 Lakh on Axis FK Card 26000 CB, cancelled by bank within 1 Month
On the other hand
10 Lakh transaction every month for 1-2 years, bank watching silently...
In this case mostly it is converted into emi and if we know the hdfc card variant, we can figure out the rewards worth
Cousins are among most dangerous species in this country.
That is what Mahabharata is about.
Communication(Mode)+Credit (Card)+Cousin (Relative)= Deadly Combination
Never mess with triple CCC at home or anywhere
Listen this song OP, This might heal you
The Notice has now come so you have to justify the source of this payment. You can simply justify what the actual matter is.
IT thinks you have some unaccounted cash and that is paid to credit card. If you fail to justify ...at some point ...you will be called for an online / offline meeting with IT officials. at that time you can explain all things. with a detailed proofs of your time of visits to india. you may simply refer that some unknown person did and you are unaware. let that be handled as cybercrime or anysuch. Be strong that you have not done thats it. Just report the way it is.
In any of the cases your cibil will not improve now. Then why to lie now for what you havent done. Its very easy for cybercrime dept to come to the conclusion that IP address of txns are of Indian and since you were not here, its not you.
Idhar mera cousin apni activa bhi nahi deta kabhi 5 min ke liye.
Hdfc Bank myCards app login left the chat...
One option is to file belated returns and pay income tax and interest etc. this is a very expensive option. The other option is to inform the ITD that the transactions are not your own. But I don't know how an AO can convince officially himself even if he wants to believe you.
Ofcourse, you need to contact a CA.
dont get worried, just file ITR as a commission agent ITR 3
pay some fines for late filing, however you are not in big trouble as you believe
Can be fixed by a CA, however consider an expense of 10-25k including fines etc
For trnx you can file 44AD section which is earning via commission section. If you can't justify your transaction to the bank as a personal expense/money rotation all they will do is close your card or you can just close your card yourself after paying due but make sure to not inform this to cousin as after knowing this he will be delaying paying u back.
High-value transactions is getting normal after Corona as everyone is doing money rotation and if we are earning money from it we can file it in itr. If bank don't like our trnx category they will simply close the card.
So 1st step is do not get panic
and 2nd step is to follow the 1st step.
I don't know why he used the card and paid again using the same card.
Why didn't he withdrew once and Flew ?
Repeatedly settling the same amount for 18 Months then doing a fraud finally & flying with the money raises suspicion
