Preliminary analysis suggests a tax evasion exceeding Rs 500 crore, with officials indicating this figure may increase as the investigation progresses.
The syndicate created fake companies using forged documents, generated fake invoices and e-way bills without actual goods or services changing hands, and illegally passed on Input Tax Credit (ITC) benefits.
The racket had a pan-India footprint, with shell firms registered across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Telangana, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Bihar, and Assam, in addition to Uttar Pradesh.
Eight individuals have been arrested by the UP STF in connection with the GST evasion racket.
The STF seized a large cache of incriminating material, including forged rubber stamps, cheque books, various identity cards, fake transport company bill books, laptops, mobile phones, and files related to bogus billing.
The arrested individuals will be produced in court, and further legal proceedings, financial trail analysis, and potential arrests and recoveries are ongoing.
