Your income plays a key role in getting you a credit card. An individual with low income has to face many difficulties for card approval because poor salary means individual’s repayment capacity may not be good, in the eye of the bank.
On the other hand, many employers in India do not issue salary slip which is more problematic because for any bank approving credit card without income proof is risky since there is no way to evaluate credit worthiness of the applicant.
However the benefits and free money offered by the card company lures many. And many people often fake salary slip to get a credit card without by misusing company’s official stamp or letter head without thinking about the consequences of misdoings. Ideally such individuals show higher income on the pay slip and get cards with higher credit limit. In fact many a times, bank or third party agents ask applicants to produce counterfeit pay slip in order to meet their targets.
There are many repercussions of submitting fraudulent salary slip and any type of fake document while applying for a credit card as follows:
Job loss: After submitting documents required for credit card, banks or third party service do a thorough verification check for each and every proof submitted. If employer comes to know that an employee has generated fake pay slip, straightaway employee will be removed from the company. More consequences will follow.
Legal trouble: Bogus papers can also land you in legal trouble. Employer can sue the employee since he/she has forged the official document, signature and used official stamp to show high income. Even banks can file a legal case for submitting such fake documents. A case under Sections 420, 465, 465, 467 and 471 of the IPC will be applied.
Police case: If not legal case, either the employer or bank may file a FIR against such applicants.
No financing in the future: Even if you manage to get credit card but later default on the payments, banks will submit your report to CIBIL. And later during recovery process, if banks come to know the fraudulent documents were submitted, then this will also be reported to credit rating agency. And this would be a financial nightmare. Almost every bank verifies CIBIL record before approving any application. If bank comes to know about previous history, then they will not offer any type of finance.
New job: Getting a new job will become extremely difficult. This is because any prospective company will ask for previous employers offer letter, salary slip, and verify whether applicant has any police or legal case against his/her name. Non-availability of these documents because of termination from previous employer will naturally create a problem.
Passport denial: Whenever passport application is made, a thorough verification check is done to check any legal or police case is registered on the applicant’s name. Passport application will get rejected in such cases.
Visa trouble: Not just the passport, moving out of the country will also become extremely difficult. Whenever visa application is made, thorough investigation is done to verify applicant especially legal or police case against the applicant. No matter how talented you are, no country would ever want individual with criminal case against him/her to enter their country.
