In a tweet, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) said Aadhaar and PAN details can be used for creating fake entities in GST for evasion of taxes, and hence people should refrain from sharing these without a valid reason.

”Protect your personal data which may be used for creating fake entities in GST for evasion of taxes,” the CBIC tweeted.

Over the past years, Goods and Services Tax (GST) officers have busted several bogus firms, which were used to raise fake invoices without any actual supply of goods. The sole intention is to fraudulently claim an input tax credit (ITC).
