FAQ :
The 'Bill Leyao, Inaam Pao' initiative was launched to combat GST evasion and improve tax compliance by encouraging consumers to submit bills and receipts from their purchases to the tax department.
Currently, 324 businesses and retailers are under scrutiny and have received notices for suspected tax evasion and GST violations.
Notices have been issued to the businesses, and fines amounting to Rs 1.03 crore have been imposed, with Rs 67.24 lakh already collected. Four companies were also compelled to register under the GST Act.
Consumers can participate by demanding receipts for purchases of Rs 200 or more, uploading them via the Mera Bill app, and reporting non-compliant vendors to the tax department.
Consumers who participate by uploading receipts can enter a draw for a chance to win cash rewards of up to Rs 50,000, with the prize value being five times the taxable value of the purchased item.
