NORTH LAKHIMPUR, Sept 12: A multi-crore tax evasion case involving a company engaged in construction of a concrete gravity dam as part of an NHPC project at Gerukamukh on the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border has been unearthed by the Assam GST department, an official said on Friday.
He said over Rs 8 crore has been recovered during a raid in connection with the tax evasion of the company constructing the dam – a part of NHPC’s 2,000-MW Subansiri Lower Hydro Electric Project.
The amount is likely to increase “significantly” as the operation was still underway, he said.
