CBI books CGST Assistant Commissioner in Jaipur for Rs 2.54 Crore Disproportionate Assets

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a case against an Assistant Commissioner of the Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) in Jaipur for allegedly amassing disproportionate assets worth ₹2.54 crore, far exceeding his known income sources. The investigation covers his tenure between 2018 and 2025, during which he reportedly diverted illicit earnings through family-owned firms and shell entities. Searches across Jaipur, Ahmedabad, and Ankleshwar led to recovery of luxury vehicles, jewellery, and multiple immovable assets. The case highlights the CBI’s continued focus on curbing corruption within revenue departments and reinforces that tax officials are subject to scrutiny under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. It also draws attention to the accountability framework for government officers handling tax enforcement and the financial transparency standards expected in public service.
