The Belagavi Enforcement Wing of Commercial Taxes Department, Karnataka, unearthed a prominent group operating multiple coaching institutes in Vijayapura district for alleged evasion of Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Enforcement officials conducted simultaneous searches at the business and residential premises of the coaching institutes of the group and other commercial coaching facilities in the district.
“The officers seized incriminating records and digital evidence. As a result of the search operation, it is suspected that a substantial volume of turnover has been suppressed, and tax has been evaded. They have voluntarily deposited ₹1 crore in GST pending final quantification of turnover and tax,” said C. Shikha, Commissioner of Commercial Taxes (Karnataka), in a press statement on Thursday.
