CBIC Launches Guidelines for Second All-India Drive to Combat Fake GST Registrations

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has issued guidelines for the second nationwide drive to tackle fake GST registrations. The campaign focuses on identifying and cancelling fraudulent registrations, especially those involved in issuing fake invoices to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC). The guidelines emphasize data analysis and field visits to detect irregularities. The initiative seeks to strengthen the GST framework by ensuring only genuine taxpayers remain in the system, thereby curbing revenue leakages and enhancing compliance.
