GST sleuths tracking merchants skipping tax via digital payments

The Directorate General of Goods and Service Tax Intelligence (DGGI) is partnering with startups, payment aggregators, and payment gateways to monitor online merchants for tax evasion. Small merchants often engage in selling products that attract lower GST despite enlisting as sellers of different products. The government and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) are cracking down on such behavior. While payment aggregators conduct due diligence during onboarding, continuous monitoring is lacking. The RBI has drafted guidelines on ongoing monitoring of merchants by payment aggregators to ensure correct taxes are paid. Fraud detection platforms help in flagging suspicious activities and fake UPI IDs used for fraudulent transactions.
