DGGI launches probe into 'tax evasion' worth Rs 18k cr by agricultural brokerage houses

During a sector-wise analysis of GST data, the DGGI detected evasion by 58 brokerages, engaged in procurement of crops from farmers for businesses and government agencies, and in processing and packaging for exports, said officials. Some of these brokerages were not even registered under GST, despite huge turnover, and action could be initiated against more such entities, they said.
