The State Goods and Services Tax department seized 350.71 kg of gold during tax evasion checks in 2021-22, which showed a massive increase over the previous fiscal.
The gold was seized from different parts of the State during inspections carried out by the department's intelligence squads to check tax evasion, department officials said on Saturday.
The seized gold, in the form of ornaments, gold biscuits, and in melted condition, lacked proper documentation or was brought into the State using papers bearing incomplete or incorrect information. The inspections raked in ₹14.62 crore for the State government by way of recouped tax and fine.
