Government crackdown on tax defaulters has revealed shocking data as a
total of 1,377 exporters who have fraudulently claimed IGST refund
amounting to Rs 1,875 crore have been found untraceable at their
principle place of business.
Also, the list of 'risky exporters'
includes 7 larger entities who are accredited as star exporters. In
addition, adverse reports have also been received on three star
exporters. These 10 star exporters have claimed IGST refund amounting to
Rs 28.9 crore deceitfully.
Sources said on the condition of
anonymity that as on date, 7,516 exporters are in risky exporter list.
Out of them, IGST refund/drawback worth Rs 1,363 crore is suspended in
respect of 2,830 risky exporters. Adverse reports have also been

According to the

amounting to Rs 115 crore against identified risky exporters. Also, out
of the 234 suppliers' verification received so far, 82 suppliers have

specific risk indicators based on Customs, GST, Income Tax and DGFT
data. The identified risky exporters are shared with the CGST formations
for physical and financial verification in terms of GST policy wing for
CGST formation.

refund /drawback amounting to Rs 273 crore is under suspension.
