FAQ :
The Delhi Police EOW is investigating alleged fraudulent GST transactions amounting to nearly Rs 374 crore.
Fraudsters are obtaining personal credentials such as PAN and Aadhaar from unsuspecting individuals to secure GST registrations and conduct high-value, largely paper-based transactions without the victims' knowledge.
The fraudsters often target employees, small business owners, and job seekers by collecting their personal documents under the guise of employment, financial assistance, or GST compliance services.
A businessman discovered a Rs 194.7 crore fraud when his chartered accountant noticed discrepancies during income tax return filing, revealing his PAN had been used for a GST registration without his consent.
Taxpayers are advised to regularly check their PAN-GSTIN linkage on the GST portal and report any unauthorised registrations. Citizens should also be cautious about sharing sensitive documents and securely dispose of paperwork.
