GSTN to Analyse Statistics of Tax Payers Registered with GSTIN

By

Three weeks into the new tax regime, the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) has said that it will analyze the statistics of tax payers registered with GSTIN and give them ratings based on the data they would provide on the portal.
GSTN is the technology backbone for implementing the single producer levy, which came into effect from July 1. The company will also study tax-payer behaviour after the system has captured data for a couple of years. It will undertake studies of various kinds for the central government to help in the future planning process.
“We would also be studying trends in various sectors production types, or turnover for certain commodities such as steel or coal or anything else,“ GSTN Chairman Navin Kumar said.
The GSTN will also help the government locate tax evaders. “We will compare the data of compani es registered on our portal with those of the income tax department to find discrepancies.“
The system will alert the tax departments in case of any discrepancy between our data sets and those belonging to other tax departments, he added.
GSTN, incorporated in 2013, has 24.5% equity from the government of India, and all states, including the NCT of Delhi and Puducherry, and the empowered committee of state finance ministers, together hold another 24.5%. The remaining 51% equity is with non-government financial institutions.
In 23 days of GST's launch, the number of registered people on the GSTN is close to 78 lakh: Of them, 70,30,000 have migrated from the previous tax regime and 7,90,000 are new tax payers.
GSTN estimated 3 billion invoices on the basis of the number of invoices that were usually submitted during the VAT regime. According to its estimate, the average number of invoices generated by businesses was 127 per month. “But the range was very wide. The smallest number of invoices a company had was 10-12 a month to 28 lakh invoices a month,“ Kumar added.
The GSTN system has been designed to handle two times the expected number of invoices. Businesses can start uploading their sale and purchase invoices generated post July 1 on the GSTN portal from July 24.

After RBI rate cut, check latest home loan interest rates of top banks for loans above Rs 75 lakh

By
  The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has reduced the repo rate by 25 basis points from 6.50% to 6.25% in its monetary policy review as announced on February 7, 2025. After the RBI repo rate cut, banks such as SBI, Canara Bank, PNB, and Union Bank among others have cut their repo linked lending rates. Most other banks are also expected to cut their lending rates in line with the RBI rate cut. After banks cut their lending rates, their home loan borrowers will have to pay less interest.

In case, the borrower goes for reduction in EMI then the lower lending rate of the lender would mean lower Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) for borrowers.   EMI is the amount you will pay on a specific date each month till the loan is repaid in full.A repo rate-linked home ...
