Jagran correspondent, Moradabad. Another case of tax evasion through bogus bills in timber business has come to light. Late on Wednesday night, the mobile squad team of the state tax department caught a truck loaded with wood from Rampur area. The goods loaded in this truck were being sent to Haryana, but during investigation, irregularities were found in the documents.
According to state tax officials, the truck driver could not produce valid e-waybill and other required documents related to the goods on the spot. The documents shown prima facie appeared to be bogus. Investigation also revealed that the record of the firm in whose name the goods were being sent was already questionable and complaints regarding matters related to this firm had reached the department in the past also.
The team stopped the truck laden with wood on the spot and seized the goods. At present the quantity of goods and its price are being assessed. Along with this, investigation of GST returns, e-waybill and previous transactions of the concerned firm has also been started.
