3 Days Left, Second GST Drive Coming to Eliminate Fake GST Registration

CBIC mentioned that a pan-India special two-month drive against fake registration will be launched by the Central and State GST officers starting from August 16.

To fetch the bogus registrations under the GST it is the second drive. Bogus GST registrations are opted to bogusly claim and pass the ITC and evade GST.

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) stated in an instruction to field formations that the second Special All-India GST Drive may be launched by all Central and State Tax administrations from 16th August 2024 to 15th October 2024 to catch suspicious/ fake GSTINs (GST Identification Number) and to perform requisite verification and further remedial action to remove these fake billers from the GST eco-system and to safeguard Government revenue.

In the first drive between May 16, 2023, to July 15, 2023, against fake registration, 21,791 entities (11,392 entities about state tax jurisdiction and 10,399 entities of CBIC jurisdiction) having GST registration were found to be non-existent.

An amount of Rs 24,010 crore (state – Rs 8,805 crore + Centre – Rs 15,205 crore) of suspected tax evasion was witnessed during the special drive.

This extended drive shows the important role of data analytics and inter-agency collaboration in fighting tax evasion. It highlights the commitment of the government to maintain a clean and fair tax environment.
