Through extensive analysis of E-way bills, CGST Delhi East Commissionerate had busted a syndicate of five firms who were engaged in availing and utilising fake Input Tax Credit (ITC) of Goods and Services Tax (GST).
During further investigation it was found that this syndicate was using two more entities namely, M/s Shree Mahaveer International and M/s Gravity Enterprises. A communication was also received from GST, Gujarat State that a car bearing registration no. DL8CAS5941, registered in the name of one of the syndicate firm M/s Blue Water Expotrade Private Limited was intercepted by them in Ahmedabad. FastTags of Trucks were affixed on the car to create false movement of export goods from Delhi to Mundra port. The E-way bills in respect of the fake supply were issued by M/s Shree Mahaveer International.
Search was conducted at residential premises of Shri Rakesh Kumar Jain, proprietor in M/s Shree Mahaveer International and Partner in M/s Gravity Enterprises on 10th March 2022. Shri Rakesh Kumar Jain in his voluntary statement admitted that bogus invoices were received and issued from these syndicate firms without actual supply of goods.
It was evident that Shri Rakesh Kumar Jain was using multiple firms to avail and pass on fake ITC on bogus invoices and E-Way Bills without actual supply of goods. The quantum of GST evaded by him is more than Rs. 85 crore.
