State Taxes and Excise Commissioner Yunus said the department was regularly monitoring the scrutiny of returns, timely completion of GST audits and capacity building of tax officers to improve GST collection.
“The department targeted verification of 13 lakh e-way bills during the current financial year. In the first two months, 1.85 lakh e-way bills were verified. A penalty of Rs 92 lakh was collected from violators,” he said.
