Srikanth Vaidyanath, a resident of Mira Road, was arrested by the Maharashtra State Tax Department.
The alleged fake GST Input Tax Credit (ITC) fraud is valued at £8.43 crore.
The fake company used in the fraud was M/s Srikanth Enterprises.
Srikanth Vaidyanath allegedly generated and passed on fraudulent tax credits through bogus invoices and electronic entries, without any actual movement of goods.
Tax officers found that the premises lacked any signs of commercial activity, business records, stock registers, invoices, or ledger books, indicating it was a shell firm.
No, the investigation is ongoing to identify other beneficiaries, trace additional shell entities, and uncover the full extent of the fraudulent operations.
