Subsequently, the statement of its Director was recorded on September 05, 2022 wherein he admitted his role in the generation of fake ITC and passing on this ITC in the downward supply chain.
Investigation revealed that this company had fraudulently claimed input tax credit of Rs. 27.80 Crore in its GST returns and passed on this ITC to its various recipients. Bogus invoices of around Rs. 142 Crore were issued for passing on this tax credit, without any supply of goods, in gross violation of provisions of the CGST Act, 2017.
Based on material evidence gathered during the investigation, the Director of the company was arrested on September 06, 2022 and produced before the Hon’ble Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Esplanade on the same day who has remanded him to judicial custody for 14 days. Further investigation is under progress.
This is the seventh arrest by the officers of CGST Mumbai South Commissionerate, in the current financial year. During the financial year 2021-22, the CGST Mumbai South Commissionerate had detected GST evasion of Rs. 949 Crore, recovered Rs. 18 Crore and arrested 9 tax evaders
