Telangana is tightening GST scrutiny following the unearthing of Input Tax Credit (ITC) fraud cases valued at over Rs 3,000 crore.

Dealers with annual transactions above Rs 10 crore will face enhanced scrutiny. This includes around 2 lakh dealers with annual turnover exceeding Rs 1.5 crore.

The GST registration process will become more rigorous, involving detailed vetting of applications and, where necessary, physical site inspections.

Authorities will strengthen monitoring of Integrated GST (IGST) transactions and closely verify ITC claims made by large businesses. Technology and data analytics will be used to flag suspicious cases.

The aim is to plug revenue leakages, curb fraudulent activities, and ensure that genuine businesses operate on a level playing field.
