Dhubri – In a significant move targeting tax non-compliance, the Dhubri zone tax department conducted a major raid on Wednesday night at a business dump situated in the New Ghat area of Dhubri. The premises, reportedly linked to local businessman Marfat Ali, were under scrutiny for allegedly operating without adhering to Goods and Services Tax (GST) regulations.
The tax team dedicated several hours to a thorough search of the site, confiscating a substantial cache of documents believed to be crucial to the ongoing investigation. While official sources have refrained from disclosing the precise extent of the suspected GST evasion, the comprehensive nature of the raid and the sheer volume of seized material strongly suggest considerable financial irregularities. Departmental sources indicate that this operation is likely to reveal significant discrepancies in the establishment’s tax records.
This enforcement action forms part of a wider, state-level initiative launched by the Assam government. The drive aims to bolster tax compliance and mitigate revenue losses across the state. Recent operations conducted in various districts have already brought to light pervasive tax suppression practices within numerous businesses.
Authorities are currently meticulously examining the impounded documents to ascertain the total value of the evaded tax. Based on the findings, legal proceedings against the owner, Marfat Ali, are anticipated to commence shortly.
