The founder of BharatPe is in the news again, as, in a recent development, Ashneer Grover has claimed that he has been served with notice by the income tax department. Grover took to his personal X (formerly Twitter) account to share this news. The notice served at 8:00 am on Tuesday, expects Grover to respond by Wednesday, 12:28 PM.
An exasperated Grover insinuated this to be an unscrupulous move. He said, "Tax terrorism or vendetta ? Take your pick".

Tagging the Income Tax Department, Finance ministry, along with Minister Nirmala Sitharaman herself, an indignant Grover said, "Goli hi maar do seedha !"(Just Shoot Me Already).
Grover also redacted image of the said notice, in which the notice has been issued to him under Sub-Section 1, of Section 142 of the Income Tax Act 1961.
Grover, in a repeat of what had come to pass a few ago, deleted the tweet/ post later on. This is not the first time, that Grover has backtracked from his bellicose statements.
Recently Grover was in news, and took the news to his social media profile, when he won a litigation surrounding his holding of BharatPe.
In another development, that arose last week, Grover threw an open challenge to the RBI, when he asked the Central Bank to cancel his license, if found guilty of an transgression.
