CBI Arrests Service Tax Superintendent

CBI arrested a Service Tax Superintendent in Delhi while accepting a bribe of Rs. 1,50,000 out of the demanded bribe of Rs.2,50,000. The bribe was demanded for not raising a demand on an assessee. Service Tax has become very lucrative for the departmental officers and lakhs of rupees are being transferred as bribes. Unsuspecting assessees are virtually cheated with threats of arrest, prosecution, Show Cause Notice and money is extorted.

Every Service Tax office is a sitting duck for the CBI to shoot.

Until Tomorrow with more DDT

Have a nice day.
