GST Dept. Uncovers 27.10 Crore Fraud by Fake Firm in Aligarh

Special Investigation Branch (SIB) of the State Goods and Services Tax (GST) Department uncovered a big scam by raiding the A-One Services firm named Avon Services operating in Swarn Jayanti Nagar (Aligarh) apartment and caught GST evasion. The company is alleged to have displayed a total sale of Rs. 27.10 crore without performing any real purchase.

This scam has even surprised the GST department. In addition to this, the company is also alleged to have transferred fake ITC worth Rs 8.97 crore to other firms. This action was performed by creating bogus firms in a posh area of the city.

The company was registered officially in the name of a fruit-selling firm. However, the fake bill showed the company registered in the name of Iron Steel Products. It was mentioned that the firm is situated on the fourth floor of the apartment in Swarn Jayanti Nagar. However, during the investigation, no such firm was found there.

The investigation team has confiscated all the documents and bills of the company. The action has been performed on the orders of GST SIB Additional Commissioner Anil Kumar Ram Tripathi. The GST department will now examine all these documents, check the tax evasion and then will finally issue the penalty notice.
