Standing Committee on Finance, Fifteenth Report (18th Lok Sabha) - Action Taken on the Second Report (Department of Revenue)

This action-taken report reviews the Government's replies to the Committee's Second Report on the Department of Revenue's 2024-25 demands. On GST, the main issues were evasion and fraudulent input tax credit. The Government listed its countermeasures: biometric Aadhaar authentication, geo-tagging of premises, PAN-linked OTP checks, mandatory e-invoicing and network analytics. The Committee welcomed these as a strong step against fake invoicing, and it continued to push for the GST Appellate Tribunal to start work quickly.
