GST Raids on Firms Linked to Ankita Lokhande Husband Vicky Jain Family

New Delhi, December 15, 2025: In a significant development that has caught the attention of fans and the business community alike, the family of television actress Ankita Lokhande’s husband, businessman Vicky Jain, has come under scrutiny following extensive search operations by the Chhattisgarh State GST (Goods and Services Tax) department in Bilaspur. The raids, which were linked to the family’s coal trading business, have resulted in a substantial recovery of tax.

The Details of the Operation

The search operations, which were carried out simultaneously across multiple locations, were initiated on the directions of the State GST Secretary, Mukesh Bansal.

• Timeline and Scope: Enforcement teams from Raipur began the coordinated searches on the morning of December 12 and continued late into the night. A total of 11 locations were targeted, covering offices, residential premises, washeries, and industrial plants.
• Targeted Firms: The operations focused on three major coal trading groups: Mahavir Coal Washery, Feel Coal, and Paras Coal & Beneficiation. Officials confirmed that Mahavir Coal Washery is reportedly linked to the family of Ankita Lokhande and Vicky Jain.
• Allegation: Preliminary findings suggest that GST officials suspect manipulation in tax input credit and various methods were allegedly used to underreport tax liabilities, particularly linked to coal mixing and related processes.

Massive Tax Surrender

The enforcement action quickly led to a major tax surrender from the businesses under investigation.

The initial surrender was made during the search itself, with the remaining amounts being deposited on the following day, bringing the total voluntary tax surrender from the three groups to a massive Rs. 27.5 crore.

Investigation Underway

While the large tax surrender has been made, GST officials have indicated that the investigation is still ongoing. Authorities have collected a significant amount of detailed information, including purchase and sale records. They stated that the exact extent of tax evasion will only be disclosed after a full physical and documentary reconciliation is completed. Further action will be determined based on the final figures established during this exhaustive investigation.

The news of the financial troubles comes at a sensitive time for Ankita and Vicky, as it surfaced right around the time they were celebrating their fourth wedding anniversary. Neither the actress nor her husband has released an official statement regarding the GST action on the family-linked firms.

The development serves as a stark reminder of the government’s intensified drive against tax evasion, even for high-profile business families.
