The tax evasion scheme uncovered in Gujarat is valued at Rs 22 crore.
A total of 79 mobile phone dealers across Gujarat were involved in the tax evasion scheme.
The operation covered cities including Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, Rajkot, and Bhuj.
The dealers exploited rebates meant for business-to-business transactions by selling mobile phones without issuing bills, despite acquiring them with proper tax invoices.
The GST department has collected approximately Rs 3 crore from the vendors as an initial recovery.
Many dealers failed to maintain proper records, including details of mobile phone companies, model numbers, and IMEI numbers, making it difficult to track sales accurately. Over 500 mobile phones were found without corresponding sales entries.
