Upload GST bills on govt portal, stand chance to win a lucky draw
A Haryana government spokesperson said that the Union finance ministry has initiated a Mera Bill Mera Adhikar scheme which allowed every citizen to upload the GST bills on a portal. “The central government will conduct a lucky draw every month. This scheme encourages more and more people to insist on asking for a GST bill on a purchase and will be effective in combating tax evasion,” the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said that consumers are required to upload their GST bills on the ‘Mera Bill Mera Adhikar’ app or on web.merabill.gst.gov.in.
The spokesperson said that for consideration in the lucky draw, only consumers uploading all B2C invoices issued during the previous month on the relevant application by the 5th of every month will be eligible for the draw. Similarly, for bumper rewards, quarterly draw will be conducted for all invoices uploaded by the 5th of each month in the last three months, the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said that for each uploaded invoice, the supplier’s GSTIN, invoice number, invoice date, invoice value, and the state of the customer need to be provided. Inactive or duplicate GSTINs uploaded or invoices will be rejected by the system.
The minimum value of the invoice to be considered is set at Rs200 and for consideration in the lucky draw, an individual can upload a maximum of 25 invoices per month. A reference number (ARN) will be generated for each uploaded invoice, which will be used for the draws. Monthly draws will offer 800 rewards of Rs 10,000 and two rewards of Rs10 lakh each. Winners of the quarterly draws will receive a prize amount of Rs1 crore each, the spokesperson said.
