ARREST UNDER GST: FILING OF CAVEAT IN HON'BLE SUPREME COURT

A taxpayer was recently arrested under GST for alleged tax evasion.

The arrest was made by the Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI).

The taxpayer has denied the allegations and has filed a caveat in the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

The caveat is meant to prevent any adverse order against the taxpayer without giving them a chance to be heard.

The taxpayer has also approached the High Court for anticipatory bail.

The arrest has raised concerns among taxpayers about the powers of the GST authorities.

Experts suggest that taxpayers should ensure compliance with GST regulations to avoid such situations.
