By a staff reporter: Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) is continuing its relentless pursuit to check evasion of GST across the country. Their efforts have found out notable results and have disclosed significant GST evasion by way of detection of diverse modus operandi such as clandestine supply of Iron and Steel items, Tobacco (Khaini) and Diary (Ghee) products and by the means of taking fake Input Tax Credit. Non-compliance in these sectors involve potential social, financial as well as economic security implications.

In 1st quarter of FY 2024-2025, DGGI detected 1343 cases that include evasion of duty of Rs. 30,334  crore, with voluntary payment of Rs. 3,466 crore  and  22  persons  engaged  in  GST  evasion  got arrested. This is a notable development as compared to 1st quarter of Financial  Year 2023-24   (April   to   June)   wherein   1064   cases  registered involving evasion of duty of 16,158 Crore.
