(By Syed Ali Taher Abedi)

New Delhi, November,1, 2025 — The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a case against an Assistant Commissioner of Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST), Jaipur, on allegations of amassing disproportionate assets during his tenure from 2018 to 2025.

According to the FIR, the officer, who served in key postings at CGST offices in Jaipur and Ahmedabad, is accused of illicitly accumulating wealth in his own name and in the names of close family members. Preliminary findings suggest that the assets acquired are grossly disproportionate to his known sources of income.

Investigations have revealed that several firms, LLPs, and companies linked to his family members were allegedly used as conduits for routing ill-gotten money. The CBI conducted extensive searches at multiple locations including Jaipur, Ankleshwar, and Ahmedabad.

During the raids, gold and silver jewellery valued at approximately ₹35 lakh was recovered. Officials also unearthed various immovable properties registered in his name across Rajasthan, along with premium vehicles such as a Porsche and Jeep Compass. Furthermore, 23 bank lockers have been identified in the names of his family members, which are now under scrutiny.

The case marks a significant development in the ongoing efforts to curb corruption within the revenue services.
