Delhi High Court Fines Firm for Fraudulent GST Tax Credit
Imagine the government has a special program called GST to collect taxes on goods and services.
Businesses can usually get some money back through ITC if they've already paid GST.
However, some companies are creating fake invoices to get money back they don't deserve.

The court is worried because this kind of cheating could cause big problems for the entire GST system, which is designed to make things fair.
