<p>A case of cheating was registered against an unidentified person for allegedly using the PAN number of a teacher in <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/Maharashtra-all" rel="none">Maharashtra</a> for operating a GSTIN account and conducting transactions worth over Rs 3 crore, police said on Monday.</p>
<p>The fraud came to light when the victim, Anil Jare, approached a CA to file his income tax return recently.</p>
<p>The teacher was shocked to see that a GSTIN (Goods and Services Taxpayer Identification Number) was being functional on his PAN number in the name of an industry which showed Jare as the proprietor, the official said.</p>
<p>Prima facie, the GSTIN account was opened without verification of documents.</p>
<p>A case was registered at Shivaji Nagar police station on the charge of cheating under the Indian Penal Code, the official added.&nbsp;</p>
