The drive aims to detect suspicious and fake GSTINs, conduct necessary verifications, and take remedial actions to remove fake billers from the GST ecosystem and safeguard government revenue.
The special drive will be conducted from May 16, 2023, to July 15, 2023.
The drive is being conducted by all central and state tax administrations.
GSTN will identify fraudulent GSTINs using data analytics and risk parameters. Field formations can also supplement this list through their own data analysis and human intelligence.
If a taxpayer is found to be non-existent or fictitious after verification, action will be initiated for suspension and cancellation of registration, and input tax credit may be blocked. Efforts will also be made to identify masterminds and beneficiaries.
Nodal officers will be appointed by each CGST Zone and State to ensure seamless data flow and coordination. A National Coordination Committee will also monitor the progress of the drive.
