ANANTNAG, MARCH 16: In a recent crackdown, acting on specific intelligence input, the enforcement team South Kashmir laid a special Naka on intervening night of 14th & 15th March 2025 and intercepted 02 vehicles carrying battery scrap and imposed penalties to the tune of Rs 6.31 Lakh under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime on taxpayers involved in the trading and transportation of battery scrap without proper GST documentation and compliance.

These measures aim to ensure transparency, accountability, healthy competition among taxpayers and also the proper management of hazardous materials in line with environmental and health regulations.

The department urges all traders, recyclers, and transporters of battery scrap to review their GST compliance status and rectify any discrepancies. Failing to do so may result in further penalties and a review of their operations.

For further information or to clarify GST-related queries, affected businesses are encouraged to contact the GST department or visit the official government website for more details on how to stay compliant.
