Sri Vijaya Puram, Nov. 14: Following the recent rate revisions under GST 2.0, the GST Department of the A&N Islands has observed that a number of business establishments across the Union Territory are yet to fully comply with the updated GST rates, regulations and exemptions, despite the considerable time provided for transition.
To ensure proper enforcement, inspection teams have conducted random checks on 68 business units in Sri Vijaya Puram since 22nd September, 2025. During these inspections, several instances of non-compliance were detected, leading to the imposition of on-the-spot penalties. A total penalty of Rs. 3.33 lakh has been recovered from businesses found violating GST norms.
The enforcement drive will continue in the coming days to guarantee the effective implementation of the revised GST provisions and to ensure that consumers receive the rightful benefits of the new regime.
All business establishments are hereby reminded that strict adherence to GST rules and regulations is mandatory. Any deviation or non-compliance will attract penalties as prescribed under GST law.
Residents and business owners who wish to report any instance of non-compliance, or seek clarification regarding GST rates and their implementation within the Union Territory, may reach out to the Department via WhatsApp at 9595359698.
