CAs and Tax Evasion

I see many of my colleagues consulting CAs for ITR filing and getting huge returns. What I gathered from their filings were bogus Health Insurance claims, fake HRA claims etc being utilised for showcasing huge deductions. These filings were done along with ITR 2 to somehow bring down the income.

Can anyone shed light on this practice? Are these legitimate CAs ? Is this not illegal? Don't they get caught ?

Note: This post is not to undermine CAs, but to understand how few CAs are doing this ? And is there really a way to decrease your taxable income, without having legitimate investments in the first place.

Yes but the counter by CAs apparently is: we know which sections are thoroughly checked and which are not. So don't worry, govt doesn't have the manpower or necessary analytics available to do this.

I don't want to believe this, but is this true by any chance.

That's why, if you don't have knowledge about these things, it's better to stay quiet.

I have shown 75k health insurance which I really pay only 23k. I don't think they will be able to catch this ever.

I know Indian govt can't be this good. They can catch only by one thing by matching amount deduction from bank account. Which I have to think of somehow.

Guys, I added an extra 4k in the LTA... Will I get caught?

No clue how the check happens, but always a risk. I've seen people putting enormous amounts in LTA and not getting caught or notices for the same.

Not claims. The insurance payment.
Anyways not the focus of the post. I wanted to know if this is prevalent elsewhere as well. Also I missed out fraudulent NGO payments.
