Revenue Secretary Sanjay Malhotra called for enforcement teams to focus on identifying and weeding out fake registrations under a special two-month drive launched on August 16 and underlined that the masterminds and beneficiaries of fake input tax credit (ITC) must be tracked down. He called for strict action against such beneficiaries to ensure this creates the “necessary deterrence” effect.
