I was made Signatory for sales tax matters without my knowledge

It is clear that whatever documents you had signed you had signed in the capacity of an employee of your company. If there are any sales tax liabilities of your company, you cannot be made liable only because you signed certain papers. The sales tax authorities cannot proceed against you because you were only an employee. I would advise that you cooperate with the authorities. Report to them whenever they call you and provide whatever document they need which is in your possession. However be careful while signing papers in their office from now on. Take regular advice from lawyers in case of doubts

Dear Sir,

Kindly meet in person along-with all relevant documents which are with you including the copy of the statement which you gave to the sale tax authority for detailed advice. Your resignation letter is the key element in this matter.

Thanks

Advocate Aditya Sharma LawRato
