Jaipur, Dec 13 (NationPress) As part of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma's unwavering stance against tax evasion and his dedication to a transparent tax framework, the State Commercial Tax Department (State GST) executed a significant statewide initiative on Saturday.

Under the supervision of Chief Commissioner Kumar Pal Gautam, the department undertook simultaneous inspections at 110 business locations throughout Rajasthan, revealing tax evasion estimated at around Rs 200 crore.

For this operation, over 300 officers from the Commercial Tax Department were mobilized into specially organized teams, conducting coordinated inspections across various districts at once.

According to the department, intelligence reports suggested extensive tax evasion across several industries, including plywood, sanitary items, iron scrap, tiles, edible oil, hospitality, cotton, timber, and real estate.

Responding to this intelligence, an extensive and focused campaign was initiated.

This marks the first occurrence of such a vast, multi-sector operation being executed simultaneously throughout the state, instilling significant apprehension among tax-dodging traders.

During these raids, officials discovered critical documents, including handwritten notes and fraudulent invoices, across multiple sites.

Several traders acknowledged their tax evasion during the operation and willingly paid approximately Rs 10 crore to the department.

A thorough examination of the confiscated documents is currently in progress, with officials anticipating that the final recovery figure will be considerably higher.

The Commercial Tax Department has indicated that its rigorous campaign against tax evasion is ongoing and that similar operations will be escalated in the upcoming days.
