Chhattisgarh govt tightens GST E-Way Bill provisions to curb tax evasion
In a significant move aimed at bolstering the monitoring of tax evasion, Chhattisgarh govt has issued a new notification, effective immediately, mandating the generation of e-way bills for all intra-state goods movement over ₹50,000.
The decision signals the removal of previous exemptions that allowed certain goods to be transported within the state without an e-way bill. The new rules are designed to fortify the state’s tax collection mechanism, ultimately benefiting the state’s economy.
By eliminating these exemptions, the state aims to tackle issues such as:
- circular trading and bogus billing, which have exploited the previous leniencies.
- to enhance compliance and reduce fraudulent activities.
- to align with national practices
- The move is expected to provide
- a level playing field for honest businesses,
- ensuring fair competition and
- improving the collection of input tax credits (ITC).
