On April 10, 2023, the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) announced the arrest of two individuals in Hyderabad for their involvement in organized tax evasion schemes. One of the suspects was identified as a key member of a network that created 48 dummy firms to facilitate fraudulent Input Tax Credit (ITC) transactions worth ₹260 crore (approximately $31.2 million USD). The second individual was implicated in a scheme involving ₹13.10 crore in fraudulent ITC. These arrests are part of DGGI's intensified efforts to combat organized GST fraud, leveraging advanced data analytics and inter-agency cooperation. In the fiscal year 2025-26 alone, the DGGI reported 123 cases against organized crime networks involving a staggering ₹7,252 crore in fraudulent activities, resulting in 10 arrests. The investigation continues as authorities aim to dismantle these large-scale tax evasion operations.
