Ankita Lokhande Vicky Jain Family Faces GST Raid in Bilaspur Search Operations Conducted Over Alleged Tax Irregularities
Full Details:
The family of television actress Ankita Lokhande and her husband Vicky Jain recently came under the scanner after the Chhattisgarh State GST Department conducted search and seizure operations at multiple locations linked to their family-owned businesses in Bilaspur.
According to official sources, the raids were carried out at commercial premises and residential properties associated with Vicky Jain’s family, which is involved in the coal trading business. The action was reportedly initiated following inputs related to suspected GST evasion and irregularities in tax filings.
During the search operations, GST officials examined financial records, invoices, billing documents, and transaction data. Authorities were reportedly probing issues such as incorrect input tax credit claims, discrepancies in turnover declarations, and possible under-reporting of tax liabilities.
Following the extensive searches, it was reported that firms linked to the Jain family deposited approximately ₹27.5 crore with the GST department. Officials indicated that this amount was surrendered towards pending tax dues and discrepancies identified during the investigation. However, the inquiry is said to be ongoing, and further verification of documents is underway.
It is important to note that Ankita Lokhande is not directly involved in the business operations, and the investigation pertains strictly to the family’s commercial ventures. As of now, neither Ankita Lokhande nor Vicky Jain has released an official statement regarding the GST action.
The development drew significant public attention, especially as it surfaced around the time the couple was marking a personal milestone, leading to widespread discussion across entertainment and news circles.
Authorities have maintained that the operation is part of a routine enforcement drive against suspected tax non-compliance and that further action, if any, will depend on the outcome of the ongoing assessment.
