According to an official with Ghaziabad tax department, the company used to collect taxes from its end customers but did not deposit the same with the department. "The said irregularity in the taxes was found after the books of the firm were seized. The company had earlier paid Rs 29 lakhs as penalty," said the official.

The official further added that during the investigation, many of the company's listed trade partners were bogus firms and did not exist in reality.

The raid was carried out by both Noida and Ghaziabad's tax departments at the company's warehouse in Dasna in Ghaziabad.

The headline says that Flipkart has paid the fine. The article itself mentions that they have been fined and doesn't mention whether they have contested it or not. Strange.
