An undergraduate student from Uttar Pradesh's Unnao has received a summons from the Income Tax Department over alleged income and business transactions worth Rs 20.98 crore. The matter came to light on Friday, with the student claiming that her Aadhaar and PAN cards were misused by a fake firm based in Delhi. The student, Rashmi Savita, said the Income Tax Department in Chandigarh issued the summons to her under Section 131(1A) of the Income Tax Act and asked her to respond by May 5.
She said she later found that a firm called RS Enterprises had allegedly been operating in Delhi's Burari area using her documents.

Savita's father, Ajay Shankar, is a daily-wage labourer.
The family said they had never set up any company or carried out business worth crores of rupees.
