Hyderabad Hotel Scam: What’s This Shocking Number?

It is already known that the food industry in Hyderabad is superior to any other metropolitan city in the country.

Officials examined 60 terabytes of transactional data collected from a popular billing software platform used by more than 1 lakh restaurants across the country. This software reportedly covers around 10 percent of the total restaurant market in India. The probe was conducted under Section 133A of the Income Tax Act. The investigation analysed backend records covering 6 financial years, from 2019 to 2020 up to 2025 to 2026. During this period, the billing software recorded total transactions worth ₹2.43 lakh crore. However, within this amount, officials found ₹13,317 crore marked as post billing deletions.
