Businessman Issued Rs 5.90 Crore GST Fraud Notice After Parwanoo Raid

Officials from the State Tax and Excise Department’s South Enforcement Region have issued a notice demanding Rs 5.90 crore from a businessman in the Parwanoo industrial area after investigating an alleged scam involving fake bills.

On Saturday, the department’s team raided the businessman’s company based on suspicions. During the investigation, they discovered that although the businessman had made multiple purchases of goods from Delhi and other states, these purchases were not real. Instead, he only had fake bills showing the transactions.

The Joint Commissioner of the South Enforcement Zone, GD Thakur, said the raid was conducted because of suspicions regarding the businessman’s activities. They checked the online records and found evidence of GST fraud. As a result, the officials have issued a demand notice for the Rs 5.90 crore under an online process. The businessman has been given a month to respond and present his case.

Along with this, the authorities have ordered that the amount be deposited into the government’s treasury. Several officials were involved in the action, including Assistant Commissioner TR Rana, Assistant State Tax Officer Manoj Sachdeva, and others such as Reema Sood, Dhyan Singh, and trainee inspectors Shalini and Diksha.
