Dear Sir/Madam,
I am an NRI living in USA and want to report professional misconduct / fraud of my CA in Bangalore. His contact # is:
[removed]
After he purchased my property April 2014, I entrusted this CA to file my returns in India. He deducted the 20% TDS and filed taxes claiming he will pay the government TDS and I can get the refund. However he did not pay TDS to government claiming he will pay me instead. It has been 3 years now and he has neither paid the government nor me the TDS which he deducted. He has always been giving me excuses that once he rents or sells a property he will pay(have several emails from him as evidence). I don’t understand what his investments have got to do with paying the TDS to me or the government. As a CA he should know better.
Other CAs are appalled at his cavalier behavior which is against ICAI code of ethics. They said this is a clear case of fraud and asked me to report the matter to ICAI, Bangalore chapter as well as IT department. I have tried in good faith by waiting since 2014 for him to resolve the issue but he is always giving one excuse or another.
After waiting patiently for close to 3 years and upon recommendation by other CAs, I contacted IT PRO Bangalore and provided the above information. I told them I was in USA and could not be present. IT PRO contacted Mr. Mudakavi and he committed to pay by the end of this month. Yesterday he sent email that he cannot meet the commitment. He says he think he will pay by April 15. He is still not sure if he will pay. This is what he has been doing for the past 3 years, making excuses and telling lies that it is stuck in IT while he had not even filed my returns. I can send you several emails about excuses and his delaying filing my taxes. So now I switched to another honorable CA to file my taxes in India.
I have contacted the President of ICAI Bangalore Chapter and provided evidence of fraud. But I do not have any response from. H
My PAN # = BIBPR4363R. I am attaching a page from the sale deed where he says he will pay the TDS of 55 lacs to the government. This site does not allow me to attach documents other than photo and video, but I can send you 3 years worth of correspondence where he has has been evasive.
My advocate told him that we will take legal action, but he says we can go ahead and nothing will happen to him.
I am looking to get my full refund plus the TDS non-payment penalty of 1% per month for 30 months.
Appreciate if you can guide me in this respect. Let me know if you need more details/evidence over these years and I can provide.
Sincerely,
Ramesh M.
