Single Zero Leads to Crores of Fake GST ITC Claim

In a recent action taken by the directorate general of GST Intelligence (DGSTI), it was found that a company has taken input tax credit exceeding 10 per cent of the original amount. The case is of a local business unit which had wrongly quoted ITC claim of 3.5 crore instead of the correct one i.e. 35 lakhs due to a clerical error.

However, the company further tried to reverse the entry after 6 months which further reinstate the fact of error done by the company. Also, the tax department has recovered 4 crores out of 5 crores from the previous claims.

The excess input tax credit amount was registered with a manual entry error which shows up the vulnerability of the GSTN portal. It was said that this kind of error could be avoidable if the invoice matching process would have levied earlier.

It might be the chance of deliberate attempt also in the invoice and GST return filing but the department has to carry inspection before coming to a conclusion. The department has also recovered a list of 400 such dealers who have deliberately changed the figures on the invoice and filing return to claim the fake input tax credit. The department is currently probing the matter and said they would soon come out with a report.
