FAQ :
A nationwide scam involves the illegal black-market sale of confidential GST data of traders, including details like GSTR-1, GSTR-2B, GSTR-3B, and e-Way Bills.
Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Noida have emerged as the operational hubs for the data racket.
The Surat Chartered Accountants Association (CAAS) exposed the scam and has written to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman seeking an urgent investigation, arrests, and measures to plug these data leaks.
Confidential GST data is being sold in packages, with basic GSTR-1 details costing between £8,000-£10,000 and bundled data including 2B, 3B, and e-Way Bills priced at £15,000 for a three-month package. More comprehensive profiles can cost up to £25,000.
CAAS is concerned that the open sale of GST data creates a thriving black market, exposes business supply chains to competitors, enables the cloning of operations, and poses a direct attack on fair trade and market ethics, potentially destroying business ecosystems.
The leaks risk compromising businesses and could undermine the integrity of the entire GST framework if they continue.
