CM Raghubar Das on Tuesday ordered the Anti-Corruption Bureau to investigate fraudulent activities and tax evasion by certain businessmen in various districts of Jharkhand.

The Commercial Tax Department found that some businessmen have done several deals but have not intimated the Department about the financial details of these deals. It has also been found that bulk of merchandise has been sent out or brought into Jharkhand by acquiring road permits without paying any taxes. These activities have been supported by some circle officers too, according to reports. State Government is serious about revenue generation, stated the CM. Those found guilty of tax evasion will be subjected to lawful penalties, he added.
