DGGI Busts Rs 11 Crore GST Input Tax Credit Fraud

The Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) has uncovered a significant fraud involving GST Input Tax Credit (ITC) amounting to ₹11 crore. The investigation revealed that a network of businesses had falsely claimed ITC by fabricating invoices. The operation targeted unregistered entities, which led to the illegal issuance of fake tax credits. This fraud was part of a larger scheme designed to manipulate the GST system, resulting in substantial revenue loss for the government. Action against the culprits includes legal proceedings and GST recovery, aiming to prevent future tax evasion.
