GST Fraudsters Beware!🔥 Chandigarh's Taxation Dept. takes action: - 4 dealers missing from principal business locations🔍 - 2 GST numbers suspended🚫 - Blocked ITC worth Rs 37,99,811💰 - 1 dealer applied for canceling his GST number📝 - Notice sent to another for cancellation📢

The UT Excise and Taxation Department suspended the GST numbers of two dealers during a special drive. The department has launched a special drive to detect suspicious and fake GST registrations.

This has been initiated to weed out fake billers from GST ecosystem “During the drive so far, four dealers were not found on their principal place of business during physical verification.

GST numbers of two of them have been suspended and Input Tax Credit (ITC) to the tune of Rs 37,99,811 has been blocked as per the GST Act,” said Vinay Pratap Singh, Commissioner, Excise and Taxation Department.

Out of the remaining two dealers, one has applied for the cancellation of his GST number and for another, a notice has been issued for the cancellation of GST number by the department,

In addition, reports were now being received from states such as Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Delhi, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh intimating details of recipients of ITC by firms in Chandigarh from nonexistent suppliers of their states.

ITC availed of from purchases made from these nonexistent suppliers by Chandigarh taxpayers would be blocked and recovered as per law.
