The local GST formations are ordered to identify the unscrupulous businesses that are still applying the tactics of false invoices or e-way bills to claim more ITC than actually receivable. Currently, the department has issued notices to various companies commanding them to reverse the ITC wrongly claimed by them.

There are around 34% mismatches or less GST payment, concluding the deficit, excess refunds availed, over-invoicing, wrong ITC claimed, and so on. Country’s revenue collection marking Rs. 1 lakh crore per month is a bonus for the economy and that now it is expected to re-stabilize shortly in the coming period.
“The GST collections continuing at above the Rs 1 lakh mark is quite an encouraging situation for the Indian economy,” said Abhishek Jain, tax partner at EY. One of the prominent reasons for the hike in collections is differential liabilities discharged by businesses in reference to the observations in GST annual returns and audit for 2017-18; which was due in January 2020,” he said.
The figures of recent GST collection clearly depict that the economy is stepping towards stability and due to the amendments in the e-invoice mechanism and new return policies the graph is expected to show even more growth. Now the tax authorities are all expected to roll up their sleeves for the March collections so that the difference between the set target and actual collection is reduced.
