The Rajasthan administration confiscated 44 vehicles over a 21‑day period as part of a crackdown on tax evasion, officials said.
The state’s revenue department announced that 44 motor vehicles were seized in a span of three weeks as part of a focused operation against tax evasion. Officials said the vehicles belonged to individuals and firms that were found to be evading taxes on commercial transport and related services.
The crackdown, launched earlier this month, involved verification of registration documents, tax filings and on‑site inspections. Authorities targeted cases where tax liabilities were either under‑declared or not paid, leading to the seizure of trucks, buses and other commercial vehicles.
The seized assets are being held pending legal proceedings, and the department has warned that further action will be taken against any additional violators. The move reflects the state’s broader effort to improve compliance and boost revenue collections.
State officials did not disclose the total monetary value of the seized vehicles, but they indicated that the operation is expected to deter future tax evasion in the transport sector.
The government plans to continue monitoring compliance and may expand the sweep to other categories of commercial assets if necessary.
