THESE new UPI rules for P2M transactions to come into effect from June 30. Check details
National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has released a new circular to deal with handling of deemed approval status in UPI for peer to merchant transactions where acquiring payment service provider (PSP) and merchant bank are the same.
In case of peer to merchant (P2M) transaction where merchant bank and acquiring PSP is same, UPI will consider transaction status 'deemed acceptance' as success in online and pass the response to the payment service providers. There will be no change in the back-office system for 3 party deemed approved transactions.
The revisions in rules are supposed to improve the customer experience and reduce customer complaints, reads the circular. NPCI has urged the banks and payment service providers to ensure that they make the necessary changes.
The existing RC-RB rules will continue for all process such as settlement, raw files, adjustment reports, GST reports, NPCI compliance penalty, RBI penalty, chargeback rules, among others, reads the circular.
Changes will be done only in the online switch as mentioned above and the current process of updating the transaction status as TCC/RET will continue.
A. The beneficiary bank will start a credit adjustment/refund/RET against the transaction back to customer only after conducting the necessary checks. As success response is given to PSP and in turn to the merchant, the merchant would have provided goods and services to the customer. Unreconciled/ improper marking of RET/ credit adjustment/ refund without confirming with the merchant will lead to out of fund scenario.
B. In case if the credit adjustment/RET is not initiated, merchant bank will retain the funds with them and credit to the merchant as per the existing regulatory and legal framework.
The TAT for dispute management and adjustments will be as per the extant process.

GST collection high a result of maturing system
The goods and services tax collection crossing ₹2 lakh crore in May came in as a surprise. It's only the third time the gross monthly GST revenues have crossed the mark, that too at a time of immense economic uncertainty. The May high flows from transactions carried out in April, the month when Donald Trump triggered a major upheaval in global trade with his wavering 'reciprocal' tariff announcements. The latest figures show that despite the heightened uncertainty, domestic economic activities remained buoyant. Even trade picked up, as shown by a 25 percent growth in revenue from imports. The double-digit growth in GST is an indication of not just stronger economic activity, but also of a maturing tax system in which compliances are less burdensome and tax leakages fewer. The total collection in May rose 16.5 percent, with revenues from domestic transactions growing by 14 percent to ₹1.5 lakh crore, while revenues from imports increased by a quarter to ₹51,000 crore. The net GST revenues, after deducting refunds from the gross collection, showed even better buoyancy as it increased by 20.4 percent to ₹1.74 lakh crore. The fact that the gross revenues in the first two months of the current financial year witnessed double-digit growth is significant, as collections in 2024-25 had shown a worrying trend of fatigue. Revenue growth in 2024-25 failed to cross the double-digit mark as the gross collection increased by only 9.4 percent.

AMC moves to cancel land allotment to GST dept
SLUG: NON PAYMENT OF DUES Ahmedabad: The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) moved a proposal to cancel the allotment of a 6,495 sq m plot in Gota ward to the Gujarat govt's GST department for constructing the office of the Directorate General of Goods and Services Tax. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The plot, valued at Rs 104.56 crore, was allotted last year. However, the proposal to revoke the allotment was moved because the GST department found the plot too expensive and did not make the payment for it for over a year. Subsequently, the AMC sought the standing committee's approval to revoke the allocation. The Standing Committee will review the cancellation proposal on June 5. In Jan 2024, the AMC standing committee approved the allocation of the commercial plot (final plot 172, TP Scheme 32) in Gota ward at Rs 1.61 lakh per sq m. Despite receiving notification, the GST department failed to pay Rs 104.56 crore for the land. In a separate matter, the standing committee approved on July 8, 2010, the allocation of a 1,945 sq m plot (final plot 617, TP Scheme 29) in Narayanpura to the Deendayal Port Authority for a guest house. Although the port paid Rs 2.72 crore, no construction commenced. The plot's current valuation ranges between Rs 35 to 40 crore. The port trust now wishes to surrender the plot, prompting a cancellation proposal to the AMC standing committee. Furthermore, the AMC transferred 20,958 sq m of service road land to the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) a year ago. In Dec 2024, the AUDA Land Price and Fixing Committee established a rate of Rs 1 lakh per sq m. The civic body will collect Rs 209.58 crore for this land transfer, marking the largest such payment from the NHAI. The estate department will issue a demand notice, and a related proposal will be presented to the AMC Standing Committee.

BJP govt harassing traders through GST department, says Cong on raids
Raipur: The Congress party condemned the alleged harassment of traders in Ambikapur and the entire Surguja division under the guise of GST operations and raids. Chhattisgarh Congress communication department head, Sushil Anand Shukla, said that the BJP govt is persecuting traders. He highlighted that the govt conducted continuous GST raids on businesses for the past 18 months. He further criticised the govt's earlier decision to withdraw the e-way bill exemption. Shukla accused the Sai govt of treating ordinary traders, who are major contributors to the state's revenue collection, like "thieves and dacoits". He pointed out that while unemployment rose, incomes decreased, and the purchasing power of the common public declined under the BJP govt, an 18% historic increase in GST collection is proof that the govt is mercilessly collecting taxes from the common people. Traders staged a protest and downed shutters on Sunday against the state GST raids at several business establishments in Ambikapur, the divisional headquarters of Surguja.
