Non payment of GST to Govt.
Is there any mechanism where a citizen can report non payment of GST to Govt although concerned person/institution collects it from its customers?
1.All the Baniyas/ grocery shops do not issue a bill/receipt for the items purchased by a customer & calculate the bill amount on calculator & ask the customer to pay it. Is this not default in payment of GST? What action the Govt is taking against them?
2. Recently I had been to a renowned institution working for rehabilitation of Patients of certain decease. I purchased a purse which was tagged as Rs.311/- + Rs. 44/- ( 14% CGST) + Rs. 44/- (14% SGST) = Total Rs. 399/-. I purchased two purses & gave Rs. 2000/- note. I was given back Rs. 1200/-. I suspected that since the Bill is not given the GST paid by me will be pocketed by the institution or its Board/committee members WITHOUT PAYING TO GOVT. I therefore insisted for receipt of Rs. 1200/- paid by me. I was told that I will have to wait as it will take time to prepare Computerized receipt. I said O. K. Then to my utter surprise Computerized receipt of Rs. 734/- was issued to me comprising of Rs. 311/- + Rs. 56/- ( 9% CGST) + Rs. 56/- ( 9% SGST) & I was refunded Rs. 66/-.
Is this not cheating by the so called Social institution? Firstly they wanted to pocket the entire GST, secondly they wanted to charge more GST than permissible by Govt & not to pass on the concession given by Govt to its customers.
I have preserved the original tag attached to my purse charging 14% each CGST & SGST & the computerized bill issued to me later on showing 9% each CGST & SGST. However I don't have any proof to prove the fact that they wanted to deceive Govt by not paying the GST collected as per Tag if the customers won't insist for Receipt.
Can the Local Circles Authorities take up the matter at appropriate Level? If this is the case of one Charitable Institution one can imagine how much cheating must be done All over India. more

Government before introduction of GST was claiming that after introduction of GST, the business organisations will not have scope to avoid tax. Then, how come so many irregularities are still continuing. Is it loop whole in the law or lack of proper administration. more

Central Govt.'s GST is a wonderful concept and if implemented and ENFORCED "properly" will be a great vehicle for recovering Indirect tax from a major share of the population. In fact, majority of the population do not pay income tax as they have 'labelled' themselves as " Agriculturist " and Govt does not tax agriculture income. Most Politicians are Landlords holding large parcels of land in their own name as well as their relatives. These politicians lease out their land holdings to poor farmers on a yearly basis and many have never even seen their land..!!.. The poor farmer who has taken land on lease from the land lord/politician will never get a bumper yield if the crop gives good results but only subsistence money but, if the crop fails due to rain failure or due to excessive heat etc, he has no where to go and commits suicide. In such a scenario, GST is an excellent means to collect much needed Tax. However, the implementation and enforcement of Tax collection leaves much to be desired..!!..IF GOVT. FORTIFIES, THE ENFORCEMENT AND COLLECTION OF GST - IT WILL HELP GOVT RUN ALL ITS "PRO POOR" PROGRAMMES WITHOUT THE NEED FOR LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL SOURCE OF REVENUE..!!.. more

Severe punishment should be imposed on such cases where such cases are reported.There should be surprise checks on such cases. more
