The Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) has busted a syndicate involved in issuing fake invoices worth Rs 3,189 crore with a total tax evasion of Rs 362 crore in Ghaziabad district, Ministry of Finance said.

It alleged the syndicate was involved in creating and controlling fake firms and issuing of bills by these fake firms without supplying any goods or services and encashment of GST refund.

The ministry further said two office premises were searched from where various incriminating documents/ things pertaining to over 200 fake firms were recovered. Later, investigation revealed that the data of this network was being compiled and used from the cloud, it said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
