First, the department had suspected that Govinda has evaded tax payment. They sent him a summon and asked him to appear before them. When he failed to do so, officials visited him at his home. When he was not found there they went to talk to him at his Juhu office. Though they only recorded his statement, it has been reported that the questioning went on for a whole of 6 hours.

Tax officials collected Govinda’s bank accounts details. The actor’s balance sheet of the last three years showed around Rs 5 crore income. The tax officials have told him to pay the service tax in the next couple of weeks to avoid any legal action.

Sources said that Govinda called several officials asking for help but no one came forward for his recuse. He told officials about his inability to pay the service tax and requested them to reduce the amount.

Sources said that the actor had collected service tax along with his fee for doing TV shows, commercial and movies in the last three years. Instead of transferring the collected service tax to the government, the actor used it for himself.
