In the Financial Year 2023-24, 98 fraudsters and masterminds have been apprehended.

The DGGI uses data analysis aided by advanced technical tools to identify and apprehend masterminds of fake ITC syndicates.

Tax syndicates often use gullible individuals' KYC documents, sometimes with their knowledge for small payments, to create fake or shell firms without consent.

One operation in Sirsa, Haryana, involved a well-organised racket of fake firms, leading to the seizure of evidence and the arrest of a key operator. Another case involved a mastermind in Delhi who passed on fake ITC through 294 fake firms.
