— here’s a quick snapshot
What happened?
CGST Delhi South unearthed fraudulent ITC of ₹8+ crore.
Director of the company arrested
Modus Operandi:
ITC claimed without actual supply
Suppliers found non-existent / cancelled / suspended
Fake credit passed on to buyers
Investigation Insight:
Data analytics + multi-level supply chain check (L1, L2, L3) exposed
broken credit chain
Result: ITC held inadmissible u/s 16
Legal Action:
Statement recorded u/s 70
Arrest under Section 69
Offences under Section 132 (non-bailable)
Judicial custody till 30.04.2026
Key Takeaway:
Fake ITC = High risk of arrest & prosecution
Strong focus on data analytics & backend verification
Bottom Line:
GST compliance is no longer just paperwork — substance over form is being strictly enforced
