Aadhaar card has revealed the firms which defrauded the entire country including Himachal Pradesh of crores in GST registration
Aadhaar card has revealed the firms which defrauded the entire country including Himachal Pradesh of crores in GST registration. The addresses shown by these firms while applying in Himachal have been found to be fake. Actually, all the applications that come for GST registration go to the GST system. Three applications have to be made in this. The first copy of the application goes to the Centre, the second to the State and the third again to the Centre. The four firms which have committed fraud were registered under three PAN numbers. This revealed for the first time that two firms were owned by the same owner, while the other two were owned by different owners. The Aadhaar cards that these three people have attached with the registration have their Gujarat address registered. Due to this, the owners of these firms were also revealed to be from Gujarat during the investigation. Together these three people made 187 applications for GST registration across the country. Ten of these applications were also made in Himachal.
In Himachal, when the Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU) came to know about this matter, they started investigating the matter. In this investigation, many ends of this big fraud spread across the country came into the hands of the department. The ten applications that were made in Himachal were not approved by the state. But four applications got approval from the Centre. Many discrepancies have been found in the functioning of these firms within the state. Fake input tax of Rs 9 crore 43 lakh was obtained in the state, while firms across the country cheated Rs 27 crore in different states. Now the process of canceling the registration of these firms has been started and for this a letter has been written to the center from Himachal side. The Center has given approval to these firms, in such a situation the process of closure of firms will also be completed from the Center itself. The matter has been taken up with the Center from the state.
Fraud of 27 crores in the country due to fake registration
State Commissioner of Excise and Taxation Department, Yunus told that due to fake registration, these firms have defrauded Rs 9.43 crore in Himachal and Rs 27 crore in the whole country. Now this forgery has been revealed in the investigation of Economic Intelligence Unit on applying in Himachal. Fake tax credit of Rs 9.43 crore has been obtained by stating a turnover of Rs 56 crore through these firms.
