In raids conducted at the residence and office of a perfume manufacturer in Kanpur on Friday, the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) Gujarat and Income Tax department have recovered a massive amount of cash. Pictures of the counting of money have gone viral, and the figure has already reached Rs 159 crore.
The I-T department raided the house and office of perfume manufacturer Piyush Jain, while the DGGI separately raided the factory of a pan masala manufacturer and office of a transporter allegedly involved in evading tax worth crores by using fake invoices.
The I-T department also conducted similar raids at Jain’s establishments in Mumbai and Gujarat. According to officials, tax evasion worth Rs 159 crore was unearthed during the raids. A cash counting machine was taken to Jain’s house and the process of counting seized currency notes is on with the help of SBI officials.
The DGGI, meanwhile, raided the office and factory of a pan masala maker and a transporter who allegedly transported goods using fake invoices and showed their value to be within Rs 50,000 to avoid generating e-way bills. According to officials, more than 200 fake invoices were recovered during these raids. However, the department is yet to declare an official recovery figure for these raids.
