The Directorate General of GST Intelligence (DGGI) has sent summons and notices to about a dozen leading education intermediaries providing services to Indian students for admission to foreign universities.
Tax officials said that these companies were not paying goods and services tax(GST) on services provided to Indian students. The amount of GST evasion is estimated at about ₹600 crore, they said.
These notices were sent between the last week of March and April 15.
The official said over a dozen notices were sent in the past 30 days and more are likely to be issued in the coming days. “We have conducted searches in the case of three companies and have already made tax recoveries,” the official said.
Some have taken legal recourse or are in the process of doing so to get a stay on the summons.
