The citizens are aware that during the course of buying a product or service, the seller must compulsorily provide a receipt of the sold product or service to the customers. This is mandatory under the provisions laid down in the GST Act. In case of any discrepancies in the sold product or service, the receipt provides lawful safeguard to the concerned customer. But it has come to notice that certain sellers hesitate in providing the receipt in order to pay lesser amount of GST or the customers are not reluctant enough to ask for the receipt. As a result it creates a diminishing impact on the nation’s economy.
