HYDERABAD - The Regional Tax Office in Hyderabad has launched a crackdown on non-compliant businesses, enforcing digital invoicing requirements under new government guidelines. The initiative, launched in line with STGO No. 1(215) ST-L&P/2026/108756-R dated September 28, 2026, saw inspectors targeting vehicles carrying goods from taxpayers within their jurisdiction.
During the enforcement drive, over thirty vehicles were stopped and inspected, primarily transporting goods from cotton factories and other businesses. Tax officials recorded the details of the goods, their estimated value, and the associated tax implications. Once the documentation was complete, the vehicles were permitted to continue their journey.
In response to the crackdown, more than thirty vehicles were intercepted within just three days, with an estimated tax impact exceeding Rs 30 million. The action was a result of Section 11E of the Sales Tax Act, 1990, which requires businesses to provide digitally generated invoices for taxable transactions.
The Regional Tax Office in Hyderabad's initiative demonstrates their commitment to strengthening digital invoicing compliance, ensuring transparent taxable transactions, and preventing sales tax evasion across their jurisdiction. The drive underscores the government's efforts to modernize tax collection methods and combat tax evasion.
