Dehradun Tax Department Recovers Rs 2.25 Crore From Eden Senior Living Over GST Irregularities
Uttarakhand's tax department has recovered Rs 2.25 crore from Eden Senior Living & Wellness in Purkul after finding the company wrongly used input tax credit to pay GST on flat sales.
Current Summary
The Special Investigation Branch (SIB) of Uttarakhand's tax department inspected the premises of Eden Senior Living & Wellness, a private assisted-living facility for senior citizens in Purkul, on Thursday, with the survey continuing into Friday. Officials said the company had used input tax credit (ITC) claimed on construction-related purchases to pay GST on flat sales instead of paying the tax in cash, which Deputy Commissioner Suresh Kumar said was not legally permitted for this liability. The department estimated the company's total tax liability at Rs 12.50 crore; Eden Senior Living has so far deposited Rs 2.25 crore with the state government, while its directors have asked for more time to pay the remainder. To verify the alleged irregularities, investigators collected documents from the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), the Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority (MDDA), the district magistrate's office and the mining section, and seized records related to the company's business activities.
