GOODS SOLD AGAINST A FORGED BANK DRAFT

[ROHIT GOEL]

ONE OF UNIT SOLD GOODS AGAINST FORGED BANK DRAFT. BILL RAISED TO PARTY SAYS THAT THEY HAVE NEVER RECEIVED THE GOODS AND RECIPIENTS OF GOODS WERE NOT THEIR REPRESENTATIVES. IS THEIR ANY WAY TO SAVE GST NOW? THOUGH FIR LODGED AGAINST THIS FRAUD.

Sir, really sorry to say you need to pay GST and there is no way out
