New Delhi, May 12
Central Goods and Services Tax Commissionerate Delhi South busted a GST Input Tax Credit (ITC) fraud involving a South Delhi-based chartered accountant.
The accused is alleged to have fraudulently claimed ITC amounting to approximately Rs 7.85 crore by misusing more than 80 GST identification numbers (INs), mostly linked to the Palam and Dwarka areas of the capital.
The investigation revealed that the accused CA used his own email addresses and contact numbers to control these GST registrations. A group of 31 GSTINs was found to be engaged in circular trading without any actual supply of goods or services.
During searches, several electronic devices relevant to the investigation were seized, and statements of the relevant people were recorded. Multiple taxpayers admitted to have been relying entirely on the Chartered Accountant for GST filings, with login credentials and filings centrally controlled by him, officials said.
