 Madhya Pradesh Cement Firm Director Arrested Over ₹ 17 Crore Tax Fraud

GST intelligence officials also conducted multiple searches in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh from August 5 to August 11 at various premises belonging to the cement manufacturer.

Bhopal: 

The GST intelligence officials have detected over ₹ 17 crore tax evasion by a major cement manufacturer in Satna and arrested one of its directors, according to an official statement issued on Wednesday.

They also conducted multiple searches in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh from August 5 to August 11 at various premises belonging to the cement manufacturer located at Maihar, Satna and their registered dealers and distributors, it said.

"Searches have indicated that substantial quantities of cement and clinker have been supplied clandestinely without payment of Goods & Service Tax (GST) in the states of MP and UP," the statement issued by the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI), Bhopal zonal unit.

The searches were conducted at Maihar, Satna, Allahabad, Kushinagar, Agra, Kanpur and New Delhi. In all, 28 searches were conducted during the one-week long operation, it said.

"Immediate assistance from Madhya Pradesh Police was requested which was spontaneously provided. Subsequent operation was conducted under the security cover provided by the Madhya Pradesh Police," it said.

During the operation it has been revealed that more than four lakh tons of limestone has been procured in excess of what has been declared in the formal records of the company during the period from January till July, 2020, the statement said.

By suppressing the procurement of limestone, the company appears to have manufactured cement and clinker which has been supplied clandestinely to various dealers and units in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh without the payment of the GST, it said.

"In this process, as per preliminary estimates about ₹ 15.1 crore of GST is suspected to have been evaded during the seven-month period from January till July, 2020," the DGGI said.

More than 12 lakh cement bags were found short in stocks when compared with the formal records maintained by the company, it said, adding that these are also suspected to have been supplied clandestinely without payment of GST.

The DGGI officials also recovered cash transaction private records from company officials revealing unaccounted cash credit of more than ₹ 7.5 crore for few months period in the year 2018, the statement said.

The GST implication on these transactions is estimated to be about ₹ 2.1 crore, it said, adding that unaccounted cash of ₹ 52.39 lakh was also recovered by the central GST officials during the searches.

In view of the serious offences committed and the evidences collected, two directors of the company were identified as organiser and financial beneficiary of this GST evasion case.

"One of the directors, has been arrested on 12th August, 2020 under the provisions of Central GST Act, 2017," the statement said.

Another director did not join the investigations despite being summoned for three times, it said.

"He produced a medical opinion regarding COVID-19 symptoms. However, he has now absconded and is being traced by the officials," the DGGI said.

The director had been earlier convicted for offence under Indian Penal Code in the coal block allocation case by the Delhi District court in the year 2017, it said, without citing further details.

Woman Coronavirus Patient Dies In Ambulance Outside Kolkata Hospital

The hospital authorities have refuted the charge and said that the woman's family was given an estimate for treatment but not pressurised for making payments.

Kolkata: 

A 60-year-old woman suffering from COVID-19 died in an ambulance outside a city private hospital as she was allegedly made to wait by its authorities, who reportedly demanded that ₹ three lakh be first paid for admission, her family members said on Wednesday.

The hospital authorities have refuted the charge and said that the woman's family was given an estimate for treatment but not pressurised for making payments.

The woman hails from Tamluk in East Midnapore district and the alleged incident took place on Monday night after she was brought to the hospital from a nursing home in the city after she tested positive and reported severe health problems, a Kolkata Police official said.

Her son Nazeem Khan has lodged a police complaint against the hospital at Anandapur police station, the official said.

The alleged incident took place a day after the West Bengal Clinical Establishment Commission allowed hospitals to charge patient parties for admission an advance of no more than ₹ 50,000 or 20 per cent of the estimated treatment cost, whichever was lower but not refuse admission or treatment if the payment was not made immediately.

"The hospital authorities asked us to deposit ₹ three lakh. We managed to pay ₹ 80,000 and requested them to start my mother's treatment assuring them to get the remaining amount in the the meantime. But the hospital told us that treatment will not be started unless the full payment was made," Mr Khan said.

Later, ₹ two lakh more was transferred to a bank account of the hospital by the woman's elder son Latif Khan from Abu Dhabi, he said.

"But by then my mother had passed away in the ambulance ... We repeatedly requested the hospital to send a doctor to her, but its authorities insisted that unless they see a proof that the money was transferred to them, nobody from it would attend to my mother," he said.

"If they (hospital authorities) had attended to my mother on time, she could have been saved," a sobbing Mr Khan said.

Refuting the charge, a senior official of the hospital said, The patient was brought in a very serious condition.

Doctors had tried CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)in the ambulance but could not revive her.
