The accused, who is 38 years old, was involved in issuing fake invoices to the tune of ₹84 crore using three fraudulent GST registrations (without the knowledge of the proprietors) and was in turn getting commission from the recipient firms of such fake invoices.
Various firms created with fictitious addresses in and around Guntur were identified and simultaneous searches carried out. The searches revealed that the mastermind behind the creation of these firms had passed on ineligible ITC of ₹13 crore to various business entities in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
