**Raipur, [Date of Publication]** – Two businessmen from Raipur have been arrested for allegedly defrauding the government of ₹92 crore in Goods and Services Tax (GST). The Raipur Zonal Unit of the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) uncovered the scam, revealing that the owners of Ajay Traders used fake invoices to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC).
The accused businessmen generated false purchase invoices totaling ₹94 crore and ₹41 crore respectively, from several fictitious companies based in Delhi. These invoices falsely claimed the purchase of materials such as MS TMT, MS Angle, and MS Channel. Investigations revealed that no actual delivery of these goods ever took place; the entire transaction was fabricated. Based on these fake invoices, the businessmen illegally claimed over ₹24 crore in ITC.
DGGI officials stated that further investigations are underway to expose other firms involved in this racket.
