The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a case against an Assistant Commissioner of Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST), Jaipur, for allegedly accumulating assets worth Rs. 2.54 crore through illegal means.
The officer is accused of possessing wealth far beyond his known sources of income, in his own name as well as in the names of his family members.
According to a CBI press release issued on Thursday, the case was registered on October 28, 2025. The agency alleged that the officer, while serving in CGST offices at Jaipur and Ahmedabad between August 2018 and August 2025, enriched himself illicitly by acquiring disproportionate assets.
The total assets are said to be nearly 100 percent higher than what he could have legally earned during that period.
The CBI further stated that the accused and his family members owned several firms, limited liability partnerships (LLPs), and companies. These entities were allegedly used to route and conceal the officer’s ill-gotten money.

During searches conducted at multiple locations in Jaipur, Ankleshwar, and Ahmedabad, investigators reportedly found gold and silver jewellery worth about Rs. 35 lakh. The CBI also discovered that the family owned several immovable properties across Rajasthan, including valuable plots and buildings.
In addition, luxury vehicles such as a Porsche and a Jeep Compass were found registered in the names of the family members. The agency has also identified two bank lockers linked to the family.
The CBI said that the follow-up action after the searches is in progress, and further investigation is being carried out to trace additional assets and money trails connected to the accused officer.
Cases of disproportionate assets are registered under the Prevention of Corruption Act, which targets public servants who acquire wealth that cannot be reasonably explained by their lawful income. If proven guilty, the accused could face imprisonment and confiscation of the illegal assets.
The CBI has not yet disclosed the name of the officer, as investigations are still ongoing.
