Probe into issuance of fake GST certificates in the names of KMUT beneficiaries in Tiruppur
The issue was reportedly detected following rejection of their applications for the Rs 1,000 monthly assistance under Kalaignar Mahalir Urimai Thogai (KMUT) scheme, citing their ineligibility due to being categorised as GST assessees.
The affected women had lodged complaints with the Tiruppur North police and the GST Department stating that a Palladam-based group had obtained the documents purportedly for inclusion in KMUT scheme.
“We are in the process of analysing the documents,” Joint Director of GST Department in Tiruppur Murugakumar confirmed.
A senior revenue official said the veracity of the complaints was being examined.
The officials are said to have assured the aggrieved women that those eligible among them based on economic criterion would be eventually included for receiving benefit under KMUT.
