Key Pointers -

• Two sophisticated GST frauds were uncovered in Hyderabad, involving misuse of vehicle registrations and e‑way bills.
• A vehicle, impounded since June 2025, was still used to generate multiple e‑way bills by various taxpayers, despite being immobile. The registered owner denied involvement, leading to suspicion of criminal misuse under the CGST Act and relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, with an FIR in progress.
• A company falsely claimed to transport copper materials using completely empty trucks. Drivers staged photos and ensured CCTV presence to create the illusion of legitimate transport. Officials intercepted the vehicles at the Kamkole tollgate and discovered the deception.
• These incidents reflect a growing trend of e‑way bill fraud exploiting GST compliance processes.
• These poses serious threats to GST integrity and contribute substantially to revenue leakage. Authorities are now treating these cases as criminal offenses, invoking sections of the CGST Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
