I am physically challenging person in middle class family man from Bangalore depending on my family members to run my family, and doing screen printing work to support my family when I get an order from customers. This life itself is very much dependency on others by birth am depending on my family members.

On 28th January 2014, I saw Advt. in Times of India from M/s. Air infrastructure India ltd. Gurgaon that they require plot, land, roof for 4G mobile tower installation and they give monthly Rent Rs.70000 and Rs.55 Lacs advance+Court agreement and agents can earn Rs.25000 daily and their contact No. is 09818587532, the same advt was given little different by M/s.BharathTechnology with rent Rs.65000 and advance Rs.50 lacs advance and contact No. 09818587532 / 09717528055 respectively.

I was really surprised and also eager to see this advt. and called Air infrastructure India Ltd. And gave my email id and address and they sent the detailed email with their application form and instructions. They demanded Rs.6600/- refundable deposit by NEFT (for selection of my land) and this amount will be refunded if the land / terrace is not selected by them for their Mobile tower. As I was eager to develop my family’s asset position, I called them to ask the details for send my money of Rs.6600/- and other documents such as my address proof, ID Proof, My property copy (which my Mother holded 1200 sq. feet in Thippasandra near J.P nagar 8th phase, Bangalore) etc.etc. They told that the application form of them to be filled with my proof’s and property document with photo and told me to send the neft of Rs.6600/- to their Manager’s Bank account with CANARA Bank of India SB A/c no.2199101013087 branch Rampur, They had given also a certificate from the Company given that Mr.ArvindRana PAN NO. IS AZYEW1053K is the at present Senior Manager and he is authorized to receive the money on behalf of the company. This letter was being signed by Mrs.NidhiSainik , Deputy Joint Director as per the letter given by them.

The company has advertised in the letter head two address’s as follows :

Registered Add:- 14, DLF Tower 8th Road, Cyber City, DLF City II, Sector - 24, Gurgaon - 122002, State - Haryana


For your kind information Bharath technology and Air infrastructure India ltd has Mr.ArvindRana and Waseem Abdulla as persons to receive funds from customers like me for your kind information and action.

I noticed they have account with Punjab national bank, Canara bank, Bank of Maharasthra, Central Bank of India but all are Individual accounts only and accounts are not in the company name which has to be noted.

I know that 5th Letter of PAN no. should be our name but I did not notice that and found later that Mr.ArvindRana PAN no. is NOT CORRECT AND SEEMS TO INVALID. Which point has to be noted irrespective of other points. Why they should submit wrong pan no. to customers???.

The same should be in the case of WaseemAbdulla whose Pan No. I did not notice but have driving licence no. which is as follows :

NOTICE:
Dear Mrs. Sharadamma,
This is to notify you that Rs. 31,000/- towards Agreement and stamp duty were being deposited by you on 14/02/2014. These agreement and stamp duty charges have been found to be missing by State Revenue Board, and for which Revenue Board has issued a notice, details for which have been described in the following part of this letter. As per the notice issued by State Revenue Board-Section 9A Property act, related to the Stamp Duty, Mrs. Sharadamma property has been taken on lease for Mobile Tower Installation in return for a fixed amount of rent for a period of 10 years.
Through Aircel Communication Limited Mrs. Sharadamma (who owns the property) was required to deposit Rs 31,000/- as stamp duty charges with State Revenue Board. However, Revenue Board was being informed that Stamp duty was not being deposited in full. After a probe being carried out by an investigation officer, it has come to light that there has been a theft of 193.43% of stamp duty. After higher authorities too found this complaint to be accurate in its findings, it is requested that you deposit 193.43% of stamp duty, which is Rs. 59,963/- latest by 22/02/2014. Also submit a copy of the challan issued after depositing this fee in the State Revenue Board office.
Please note that this is a serious offence of Stamp Duty theft, and failing to deposit the fee for the same would lead to a serious legal action being taken against the property owner. This notice is current non-statutory, and failure in replying to it would lead to initiation of such legal proceedings.
Our company’s lawyer Mr. Chirag Kumar Gupta has carefully analysed this notice and has also consulted a high ranked officer from State Revenue Board regarding the same. After this discussion he has told us that State Government had significantly raised stamp duty of all types of properties in the year 2013, and this notice has been issued on stamp duty count as done by State Revenue Board on the basis of new property valuation.

You are requested to please deposit Rs. 59,963/- as stamp duty as per the 193.43% rate, so that the company can deposit it and get legal stature to your agreement for Mobile Tower Installation. This will also ensure that you will be secured from all kinds of associated difficulties in future.
We thank you for your cooperation.
For any further information or query, please feel free to contact our customer care executive.
Waiting for your positive response…
Will be glad to serve you

My property was selected by satellite survey and they told they have sent a courier to me and to call them on receipt of it. I received it in 3 days time and confirmed receipt once received by me.

They told that my land is selected and hence the agreement is for 10 years between us and advance of Rs.55 lacs and Rs.70000/- rent per month shall be given to me with other terms and conditions (normal) but as my land is selected first to get the rent and advance I have to pay part amount of telecom government tax of Rs.36500/- which need to paid through them only and not directly and after which my rent will be remitted through their person by cheque along with the cheque for Rs.25 lacs.

Remitted them the amount immediately on 20-2-14 11.30 Am. Ms.Aditi Kapoor told that my remittance was received late and so she was not able to send the money hence by RTGS by Rs.25 lacs on same day and so she will send the money on next day morning 10 am respectively.


I was happy as all payments got over as per the 2nd agreement received and I will receive Rs.25 lacs respectively.

DEMAND OF RS.59963/- DEMANDED FOR THEFT OF STAMP DUTY OF MY LAND BY STATE REVENUE BOARD

From Morning 10 am to 11.30 am I was trying and Ms.Aditi kapoor did not take the phone and told to check the email instead the answer ‘THAT SHE HAD SENT THE RTGS’ as per earlier day conversation. I was upset of why she is asking to check email and went to the internet center to check the email. There I was very much annoyed and upset and angry on seeing her email that their legal dept had thoroughly verified my land document and theft of stamp duty was done by me and it is illegal and 193.43% of Rs.31000 paid by me before was to be paid for difference of stamp duty for my land to the state revenue board and this amount to be remitted to their manager account and failing which legal action will be taken against me . It was told that this is not legal notice but if not paid legal action will be taken against the property owner say to me I have attached about mail copy.

My Mother was asking when the money will be received by me. I was not able to tell them about this email as daily one email is coming from Air infrastructure demanding some amount but at least I told my mother that he is suspicious of the company and be careful and don’t pay this amount and consult a lawyer.

I shouted at the customer care executive and wrote strong email why one by one they are asking and when they have a proposal why can’t they list out and ask the amount to be spent by the property owner. But until now there is no reply for all my emails sent to them.

They were repeated telling only one point. NO MORE PAYMENT FROM UR SIDE, REMIT THIS AND GET RS.25 LACS. Again I have stopped pay any more amount to them and went to Bangalore commissioner office to give complaint against to Airinfrastructure company there I met Mr. Alok kumar DGP of Karnataka state police and given all details from the beginning & all the documents what and all I have received from them with hard copies.

Complaint no : FIR No.0176/2014 registered in subramanyapura PS GSC no is PO1379140100200

After the complaint again I called and shouted and wrote harsh email to them that I am not going to remit this amount and going to the police for this. She was again saying no worries, u remit only on Monday and they will send the money on Monday.

I was not ready to listen to them as I had no money and I was very much upset because of all these.

I Would appreciate if a good compensation amount be also got from them for my mental/physical/my family pressures, misunderstanding, peace of mind etc. which cannot be valued and health spoilage of us respectfully.

I assure you that I am writing all the above to the truth of my knowledge and is really has got happened.

I am also personally went and given complain local area police along with copy of the letter submitted to the Police dept in Bangalore almost 1 and half moth over do not know how far my complaint they have considered as serious and where it stands in enquiry when I am going to local police station they used to say they are still checking they didn’t got any confirmation about the company is fraud or not.

Please help a family man and I have no money to pay the interest for jewels nor pay the amount to my friends/colleagues.

Yours sincerely
