Amity Global Schools Swindle their Digital Marketing Agency by Blocking Payments for Services Provided


Posted December 10, 2022 by Michaelharley

The school authorities stopped paying the digital marketing agency or made only partial payments with flimsy excuses such as inadequacy of funds or misplacing of bills received from the agency.

 
Gurgaon, 09 December 2022: The Gurgaon and Noida based branches of Amity Global School - affiliated to globally renowned International Baccalaureate® (IB) and Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) boards – are now in the news for wrong reasons. The schools have smudged their reputation in the education industry by deceitfully blocking the payments for their dedicated digital marketing agency.

The in-house accounts payable team - managing the vendor payments for both the schools - has stopped the disbursement alleging that the agency did not deposit GST on their behalf for Financial Years 2017-18 and 2018-19.

In contrast to this accusation, the Delhi-based digital marketing agency has already shown its legitimate records to the school to prove that the GST collected in those years was deposited in time.
It is also worth noting that Amity Global Schools had not even applied for their GST number before the Financial Year 2020. Nevertheless, as per the data available, the digital marketing agency did file the applicable taxes for them under the ‘Unregistered Dealer’ category.

The school authorities never raised a question on what they call “non-payment of taxes” through the past 5 years. They did not even contact the GST department to inquire about the status of their taxes.
Meanwhile, they stopped paying the digital marketing agency or made only partial payments with flimsy excuses such as inadequacy of funds or misplacing of bills received from the agency. At present the unpaid balance that needs to be remitted stands at more than INR 550000.

Ever since its association with Amity Global Schools, the digital marketing company provided regular search engine marketing and social marketing solutions to them. The creative team ensured that the schools’ social media profiles were always updated in time with news on their events. And the company also paid INR 25000 per month for the school’s PPC ads on Google.

The brand image that Amity Group of Institutions has built in the National Capital Region is distinguished. However, when such incidents of cheating another recognised business arise, they not only spark the anxiety of parents whose children study in these schools, but also disturb the stakeholders who invest in them.
While the representatives from Amity Global School Gurgaon and Noida were not available for a comment, the digital marketing has been making constant efforts to resolve the issue.
