An individual, as yet unidentified, has been formally charged with the fraudulent acquisition of a GST registration number, leading to a substantial financial loss of Rs 12.36 crore for the UT Excise and Taxation Department.
Deepak Bhatt, an excise and taxation officer, initiated the complaint, revealing that a business entity by the name of M/s SS Enterprises was nonexistent at the registered address in Sector 37. Bhatt further highlighted the inability to locate the company’s proprietor, Surender, based on the information provided in the documents submitted for GST registration.
This discrepancy strongly suggested fraudulent activity, including potential misuse of the acquired GST registration for unauthorized purposes, such as issuing false invoices without actual movement of goods. Consequently, the department levied a penalty of Rs 12.36 crore against the company. However, both the company and its proprietor remained untraceable. As a result, a formal case has been registered with the Cybercrime police station.
