CGST East Delhi Commissionerate arrests two for defrauding Government Exchequer of more than Rs 392 crore
In their continuous endeavour to uproot fake billing operations, officers of Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Commissionerate, Delhi (East) achieved yet another success when investigations led to unearthing of a massive network of fictitious firms to generate and avail fake Input Tax Credit (ITC) of Goods and Services Tax (GST). The network of fictitious companies was being operated by one Shri Naresh Dhoundiyal in connivance with one Shri Devender Kumar Goyal, who is a Charted Accountant by profession. Both Shri Naresh Dhoundiyal and Shri Devender Kumar Goyal are former employees of Essel Group. Though they are presently not working with the Essel group officially, however, they are passing on inadmissible ITC to the said group. Investigations indicate that a layer of genuine looking fictitious intermediatory companies was created to pass on bogus ITC from non-existent and fake firms to the companies of Essel Group without actual supply of any goods or services. This was apparently done to enable Essel Group to avail inadmissible Input Tax Credit of GST, book expenses to evade Income Tax and inflate their turnover to push the share prices of their listed companies.
Shri Naresh Dhoundiyal incorporated multiple fictitious intermediatory companies for Essel Group whereas, Shri Devender Kumar Goyal, CA arranged the fake invoices of various other fictitious and non-existent firms for such fictitious intermediatory companies. The total fake Input Tax Credit passed on by such fictitious intermediatory companies is quantified to be Rs. 92.18 crore whereas, the total fake Input Tax Credit passed on by other fictitious and non-existent firms pertaining to the larger network is quantified to be more than Rs. 300 crore.

Ahmedabad : Fake GST invoices racket worth over Rs 2,400 cr busted in Ahmedabad.
The total value of the fake invoices issued by the six firms was Rs 2,435.96 crore, which resulted in fraudulent transfer of input tax credit of Rs 72.25 crore, the statement added.
At a time when the government is already struggling with low revenue collection due to the Covid-19 pandemic, cases of fake GST invoices fraud are making a further dent in the government’s pocket and its ability to spend.
The Anti Evasion 'Preventive Wing' of Central GST Department (CGST) Wednesday said it has arrested a New Ranip-resident Bharat Bhagwandas Soni for allegedly operating a racket of issuing fake GST invoices worth Rs 2,435.96 crore.
“Investigation revealed that Soni had hatched a well-orchestrated conspiracy with many other similar fraudsters to enable various bullion dealers in the city to fraudulently show purchase of gold, silver and diamond products and avail bogus input tax credit in such purchase invoices.
As a part of this conspiracy, Soni floated six different trading firms in his name and in names of his son, daughters, sons-in-law, etc, and obtained GST registrations. He also operated bank accounts, opened in the names of fictitious entities, by using chequebooks signed in advance by the respective family members and kept by him,” a statement issued by the office of the Commissioner CGST and Central Excise department, Ahmedabad-North, stated Wednesday.
The total value of the fake invoices issued by the six firms was Rs 2,435.96 crore, which resulted in fraudulent transfer of input tax credit of Rs 72.25 crore, the statement added.
Input tax credit is usually claimed by a manufacturer, supplier, agent, e-commerce entity , etc who are registered under GST while paying tax on the final product or output. At the time of paying this tax on output, one can reduce the tax already paid on input and pay only the balance amount.
