GST Bills in Restaurants by Dhruv Rathee | Goods and Services Tax

 

Namaskar Friends, My name is Dhruv Rathee

and in this Video I would like to talk about

the GST aka Good & Service tax.

What are the problems with GST and the failures upon it by the Government.

We shall talk about all these in some other video!

In this video I will

talk about much more important thing than this

which will benefit you all and also increase your awareness.

I would like to talk about, how can you recognise

the GST fraud?

Sometimes you go to a restaurant for your meal

and the restaurant owner charges you for GST tax

but he is not even registered with GST!!

And in the name of  the tax he is filling up his own pocket.

How can you recognise

such frauds?

and how can you complain against it?

I will make you aware of that in this video.

First of all Friends, you need to recognise whether

your dealer has been registered with GST or not?

This can be identified very easily by glancing at your bill.

On your bill, a GST number

should be printed. Whenever you go to any restaurant for food

or buy any item from any shop

then you must see the bill.

If the bill doesn't include the printed GST number then your

dealer is not registered by GST. I have an example of one such bill

So, usually the GST number is of 15 digit.

Either it is printed on top of the bill

or at the bottom.

If in your bill you can't find this GST number anywhere, then...

your dealer

is not registered with GST.

and if still you are been charged with GST tax

then  its a fraud with you.

Secondly, some people print the GST number but

it's a fake number printed by them.

Now, how can you recognise that the printed GST number

is fake or or not?

that can be done easily

by visiting a website

I will add this websites' link in the description

and also in the comment section. The website is

So, here you can easily enter this number to see

whether your GST

is real

or your GST number is fake.

There is something unique about this GST number that

it's 6th digit can tell you

whether the GST number has been

registered by an individual person or a company.

If it's an individual person then the 6th digit will be "P"

and if it's a company then the 6th digit will be "C".

Third thing you need to notice is that how much GST

is been charged to you. If you are at a non-alcoholic

serving, Non-AC restaurant

then it should be charged 12%.

If you are eating at an AC restaurant or a hotel or

any alcohol serving restaurant then it will be

18% GST charge. If you are taking

food from any takeaway counter, even though it will be 18% charged.

If alcohol is been served

at the restaurant, then there is

NO GST on alcohol.

Alcohol will be levied with VAT, which is different for every state.

Now, you have to be alert that these rates are applicable

when I'm making this video

Government is planning to bring this 18% GST to 11%

so, till now

this has not come into the effect but

when it will be imposed, kindly keep that in mind.

Fourth thing my friends is the service charge.

Service charge is

not any kind of tax

to give this or no

is your own wish.

no one can force you for that.

If your bill includes service charge and you don't wish to give

then you can even deny that

to the restaurant

But if the restaurant forces you to pay

then you can even file a complain against them in the consumer court.

So, through these 3-4 ways you will get to know

that you have been targeted with the GST fraud

Now, lets talk about how to complain against such GST frauds.

Basically there are 5 different ways to complain against it.

The first one is, that you can call at this number

or else you can send a SMS to

Second way is to lodge a complain at this website...

Third way is to write an email to

or else

Fourth way is that you can

complain at the GST portal

or call at these helpdesk numbers

Fifth way is that you can contact them through Twitter

So, these are the twitter handles which you can contact with

These are some of the ways you can complain about the GST fraud. If the GST fraud is caught

Then, there is a fine of 100% of the tax amount.

or upto 5 years of jail!!
