FAQ :
Luxury salons were raided by the Excise Department and Central GST officials due to allegations of large-scale GST evasion, where they are suspected of not depositing the mandatory 18% GST collected from customers.
The alleged tax evasion involved high-priced services such as haircuts, hair colouring, makeup, spa treatments, and elaborate wedding packages offered by the premium salons.
Salons allegedly evaded GST by encouraging customers to pay in cash without issuing invoices, thereby masking actual earnings from services and only reporting the sale and purchase of beauty products.
Authorities are scrutinising financial records, returns, and transaction data from the last three years to identify discrepancies and confirm tax evasion.
Citizens are advised to always request a bill for any service, as paying GST supports government revenue and protects consumer rights.
Confirmed cases of GST evasion will result in heavy penalties along with interest, in line with tax laws.
