WITH the VCES ending some Service Tax wings have become active in arresting alleged evaders.

We understand that a Service Tax assessee who failed to pay the first instalment under VCES has been arrested in Mumbai for alleged Service Tax evasion of nearly three Crores rupees.

Another assessee has been arrested in Bangalore for alleged evasion of about Rs. 1.16 Crores.
