The department undertook special audits when it had detected variations in the VAT collections on liquor in comparison to excise duty collections pointing towards a leakage in revenue. Top sources in CT department noted that invoice and despatch challans issued by the Indian-made foreign liquor depots do not mention VAT. A conservative estimate after inspection of two distilleries by the department had revealed VAT evasion on account of non-duty paid liquor at a staggering ₹528.75 crore.
