Chief minister

chaired a meeting of the group of ministers on analysis of revenue from GST, where it was decided to constitute a group of officers to study issues pertaining to fraud and GST evasion in greater detail.
The officers will work on state-wise GST revenue analysis by taking inputs and data from all the states and union territories.
Sawant was accompanied by state tax commissioner Sarpreet Singh Gill, additional commissioner for state taxes Vishant Gaunekar, and additional secretary to the CM Upendra Joshi.
'The aim is to ensure a robust and equitable GST framework that strengthens India's fiscal ecosystem,' said Sawant.
The group of officers has been tasked with evaluating every business sector to identify if there is a need for policy changes. Aside from this, an impact study of GST implementation will be conducted.
'The group of officers will help develop harmonised anti-evasion tools for detecting tax evasion so that steps can be taken to increase GST revenue. Feedback will be taken from all the states,' said an official who was present at the meeting.

Sawant is the convener of the group of ministers. Ministers from Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Punjab were present at the meeting, while the minister from Andhra Pradesh attended the meeting virtually.
The group of ministers sought a detailed briefing from the GSTN on the use of business intelligence and fraud analytics by central and state GST officials. The National Informatics Centre (NIC) was asked to present its analysis of the Ewaybill Analytics Portal and the GST Prime portal.
Gujarat, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh presented data from their respective states and their inputs for consideration by the group of ministers.
The group will hold a fresh round of meetings once data is gathered from all the states and union territories. After considering all inputs, the group of ministers will come out with its recommendations to be submitted to the GST Council, said an official.
