A five-day search operation conducted by the GST Intelligence and Enforcement Unit, Assam, at Datamation Services in Guwahati has resulted in the recovery of Rs 55 lakh towards tax and penalty. The operation forms part of the department’s ongoing efforts to identify tax evasion and strengthen compliance across various business sectors.
During the five-day enforcement drive, officials carried out a detailed examination of the company’s business records, financial documents and transaction-related information. According to GST authorities, the verification process revealed several discrepancies that indicated possible instances of tax evasion.
Officials stated that while a portion of the identified irregularities led to the immediate recovery of Rs 55 lakh, several other findings would be examined further through the adjudication process. The department noted that the investigation has also brought a number of other business entities under scrutiny, expanding the scope of the inquiry.
The GST Department said that the electronics sector remains a key focus area, particularly businesses involved in the trade of mobile phones, electronic gadgets and related accessories. Authorities suspect significant revenue leakages within the segment and are undertaking targeted enforcement measures to address potential violations.
Officials emphasized that the objective of such operations is to ensure fair business practices, improve tax compliance and safeguard government revenue. They added that similar enforcement drives will continue across the state in the coming days as part of a broader strategy to detect and curb tax evasion.
The latest recovery highlights the department’s intensified efforts to strengthen tax administration and monitor sectors where revenue leakages are suspected. Authorities have reiterated their commitment to taking strict action against tax evasion while ensuring that businesses comply with GST regulations and statutory requirements.
