ROC launches Complaint against Pranav Soni

An official complaint has been filed against Pranav Soni, a resident of Satellite. The complaint has been filed by an assistant registrar of the Registrar of Companies (ROC). The charges against Soni are of cheating, breach of trust under IPC 420, and falsification of accounts under IPC section 477 (A).

The complaint has been filed by assistant registrar Neelambuj Sahai with Naranpura police. In the statement, he said that he discovered in an investigation that some Indian directors and visa facilitators have been helping some Chinese directors in money laundering.

He added that certain companies have been escaping income tax payments anonymously and they have been hiding their sources of income. Over the last two years, these companies were reducing tax amounts by showing fabricated expenditure statements and false books of accounts. Sahai discovered that these companies have been taking help from some chartered accountancy firms and getting their documentations done by them. Initially, they had Indian directors who were gradually replaced by Chinese ones.

In the complaint, he also stated that ROC has got information from several such dummy directors who have admitted to helping these companies in their documentations. For example, Ting Liang Cheng who formerly was on B1 Visa was not permitted to work in India. But still, he was found to be the director of FCS Machinery in Vasna. Similarly, other directors like Chun Chieh Wang and Chun Hsien Wang have been facilitated by Soni. According to the information, he gave them his TIN Number. As stated by Mr. Sahai, it is found that Pranav Soni is the director of two companies. These companies are Jevang Logistics and Trade and Marco Sky Technologies. These companies have reportedly been established on the same day as the FCS.
