    MUMBAI: Bad news continues to dog India’s funny man Kapil Sharma. The set of his show Comedy Nights with Kapil got burnt to nothing on 25 September, with losses being estimated at between Rs 1 crore to 8 crore.

    Now the standup comic who has put Colors on the comedy show map has been slapped with a service tax evasion notice of Rs 65 lakh by the service tax department.

    Kapil is the creative producer of the show that bears his name along with the Zodiak Entertainment group company SOL Productions and the service tax department says that his production house has collected the tax but not deposited it with the authorities.

    Sharma is reported to have said that he will make good the payments at the earliest after a five hour grilling at the service tax office in Mumbai.
