Ghaziabad CGST Unit Uncovers ₹410-Crore Fake GST Invoice Syndicate

A major GST fraud case has been uncovered in Ghaziabad, where the CGST Commissionerate exposed a fake invoice syndicate worth ₹410 crore. Officials report that the racket illegally claimed ₹73.70 crore in ITC. Investigations are underway and legal action has begun against those involved in the network.

 

The Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Commissionerate in Ghaziabad has exposed a large-scale fraudulent invoicing operation that allegedly generated fake GST bills worth nearly ₹410 crore. According to officials, the network used these fabricated invoices to wrongfully claim approximately ₹73.70 crore in Input Tax Credit (ITC), causing significant revenue loss to the government.

Investigators said the operation involved a chain of shell entities created for the sole purpose of circulating bogus invoices without the supply of any actual goods or services. By mapping transaction trails, scrutinizing documentation and conducting targeted searches, enforcement teams were able to identify the individuals and entities linked to the racket. Officials confirmed that legal proceedings and departmental action against those involved are now underway.

Authorities described the discovery as a substantial breakthrough in their ongoing efforts to combat tax evasion through sophisticated invoice-based fraud. The case also highlights the increasing vigilance of GST enforcement agencies across Uttar Pradesh and the need for businesses to maintain strict compliance with tax regulations. With the probe expanding, officials said further arrests or recoveries cannot be ruled out.
