Jagran correspondent, Jhansi. The operator of a firm evaded tax worth lakhs of rupees by tampering with the electricity bill. After the matter came to light, the Kotwali police have registered a case against the firm operator. This firm was formed on a fake address and someone else's electricity bill was used for this.
Senior Assistant Devendra Patel posted in the State Tax Office said that GST Deputy Commissioner Puneet Agnihotri examined the records of M/s Kajal Enterprises. It was revealed that the firm had obtained registration for buying and selling on April 10 this year. Meanwhile, there was suspicion of tax fraud of about Rs 72.72 lakh.
For verification, when a team reached Aligol Khirki area to check the address recorded in the records of the company, the person in whose name the firm was registered had no clue about it. He told that in the year 2021, his electricity bill was used for fraud. The cloth trading firm was shown to be the address of a person living in Aligol Khirki.
The registration of this company is in the name of a woman named Kajal. The surprising thing was that the firm was registered on the basis of electricity bill of 2021, in which the customer ID of the said person was correct, but instead of his name, Kajal's name was registered. Investigation also found that the name has been changed by tampering with the electricity bill.
Annual turnover was Rs 4 crore
A fake firm named Kajal Enterprises had registered with Central GST to do textile business. It had an annual turnover of about Rs 4 crore. This firm was selling much more than purchasing. Investigation revealed that ITC (Input Tax Credit) claim was obtained from a company whose registration had already been cancelled.
