Fake refund of 800 crores taken only in South Gujarat, refunds of 400 companies that were frozen
For the last one and a half years, the condition of the trade industry across the country including Surat has deteriorated significantly. In the last country, all trade was closed for about 6 months in the year. However, even in the unlock that happened after that, his condition was still the same as closed. However, during the Corona epidemic, it did not affect the scammers and through bogus billing, refunds of more than 800 crores were taken only in South Gujarat.
As soon as the government came to know about this, it was immediately informed to block refunds of more than 400 fake companies and investigate them. Let us tell you that ever since the GST law came into force, Delhi has been ranked first and Surat second in the case of fake ITC scams in the country. There are many types of industries including textile, diamond, chemical, yarn, medicine in Surat and South Gujarat. Due to which scamsters get a huge scope. From time to time, action is also taken against these scamsters by State GST and Central GST and other agencies, but still they do not seem to care about it. According to John, the Intelligence Unit has been created to take action against such scamsters across the country. Which keeps an eye on the customers who take refund. This unit keeps track of irregular filing of GSTR and those whose refund has increased or decreased suddenly. In the last year, more than 600 crore fake refunds have been given by these teams. In which more than 200 people are expected to attend.
When the scam companies were named by the unit, in almost 90 per cent of the cases, there was no company at all. By making a company on paper only, fraud was being done by making fake bills. However, in most of the cases, the documents of those in whose name the company is held are forged, due to which it becomes difficult to detain them.
