Tennis star Sania Mirza, who was summoned in connection with an alleged case of non-payment of Service Tax, has denied of any tax evasion.
In response to the summons issued to the tennis star on 6 February, her Chartered Accountant appeared on her behalf before the Service Tax authorities yesterday, as she is currently abroad.
She contended that the Rs 1 crore given to her by the Telangana government was a "training incentive".
The sources said the authorities are studying the documents before initiating future course of action.
The Principal Commissioner of the Service Tax office here had asked Sania to appear before it in person or through an authorised agent in connection with an investigation against alleged non-payment/evasion of Service Tax.
