Using Gemini 2.5 Pro to validate information across PDFs
Whether it's checking if figures match, confirming dates, or verifying signatories, these manual cross-checks are tedious, prone to human error, and almost impossible to do at scale.
For example, in large enterprises, shared service organizations often process hundreds of invoices every month, each requiring validation across multiple PDF documents.
Processing invoices isn't just about checking numbers. Each invoice needs to match with a purchase order and a goods receipt note—three separate PDF files per transaction. Doing this manually is slow, error-prone, and frustrating. Manual checks delay payments, create approval bottlenecks, and lead to frequent errors in compliance and vendor reconciliation.

GST evasion of over ₹7 trillion detected in five years: Centre
New Delhi: India's indirect tax administration has detected ₹ 7 trillion worth of goods and services tax (GST) evasion in 91,000 cases in five years through March 2025. Of this, taxpayers have deposited ₹ 1.29 trillion voluntarily, minister of state for finance Pankaj Chaudhary informed Lok Sabha on Monday in a written reply. The extent of tax evasion detected has steadily risen from over ₹ 49,300 crore in FY21 to ₹ 2.23 trillion in FY25, the minister said. Of the total tax evasion detected, ₹ 1.78 trillion is related to fake input tax credits. Of this, about 7% has been voluntarily deposited by the taxpayers. To be sure, part of the disputed tax amounts get dropped in appellate proceedings, while some of the demands are challenged in courts. The increase in tax evasion detected coincides with an expansion of data collection and reporting requirements implemented by the tax administration. The Centre and Goods and Services Tax Network, the company that processes tax returns, have taken several steps to improve compliance and prevent tax evasion, the minister said. These include e-invoicing transactions, automated risk assessment of entities based on their compliance attributes, highlighting outliers based on system-flagged mismatches, identifying anomalies in taxpayer behaviour, and selecting returns for scrutiny and taxpayers for audit based on various risk parameters. These measures are helpful in safeguarding the revenue and nabbing the evaders, Chaudhary said. Chaudhary said newer techniques, like facial recognition systems and e-way bill data, were used to identify GST identification numbers with a propensity for fake or fraudulent activity early on. 'While the above measures contribute to revenue collection, impact of such measures in identifying systemic gaps, improving compliance and preventing recurring tax evasion is not ascertainable. The outcomes such as revenue growth and reduction in instances of tax evasion cannot be attributed solely to all or any individual such measure, as various other factors such as global economic conditions, economic growth in the country, level of domestic consumption of goods and services, tax rate, etc. are also relevant for this,' Chaudhary said. In response to another question on reducing the 18% GST on health and life insurance policies, the minister informed the House that the issue was placed before the GST Council on 9 September 2024 in New Delhi. After detailed deliberations, the GST Council recommended setting up a ministerial panel to review the matter. Samrat Choudhary, deputy chief minister of Bihar, is the panel's convenor.

When contacted, Rediff Senior Vice-President for Corporate Development, Ashish Mehrota, said, "Yes, our company explores various fundraising options from time to time. At this stage, we do not have anything specific to share, but we are evaluating options." Sources said that the company will use the funds to accelerate its push into enterprise-grade email and business productivity suite -RediffOne, and digital payment - RediffPay . Infibeam has been investing aggressively in data centres, AI platforms, and now, sovereign digital services - all areas where Rediff is expected to play a central role, sources said. The firm had launched its AI-powered productivity suite RediffOne last year and looks to offer similar services that global majors like Microsoft, Google, and Zoho are offering, sources said. While almost all major productivity suites - Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Zoho - are headquartered in the US or elsewhere in the West, Rediff remains the only large-scale Indian player in this category. The company claims over 20,000 businesses currently use Rediffmail Enterprise, in addition to millions of individual users on its flagship email platform.

Parl panel urges FinMin to expedite full enforcement of GSTAT benches
A parliamentary committee has asked the finance ministry to adopt a "time-bound" approach and "actively pursue and coordinate" with all states to make Goods and Services Tax Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT) benches fully functional across the country. GSTAT is a crucial body for resolving Goods and Services Tax (GST) related disputes and significantly reducing the burden on higher courts. The government has notified the principal bench, to be located at New Delhi, and 31 state benches at various locations across the country. In May last year, the government had appointed Justice (Retd) Sanjaya Kumar Mishra as the first President of the GST Appellate Tribunal (GSTAT). The government shall appoint the members in GSTAT on the recommendations of a search-cum-selection committee. The Standing Committee on Finance, chaired by BJP MP Bhartruhari Mahtab, in its report expressed 'concern' over GSTAT benches not being fully operational nationwide. Significant delays persist in appointment of Members, particularly Technical Members (State), with recommendations received from only a few States, namely Uttar Pradesh, Orissa, Gujarat, Bihar, and Maharashtra/Goa. "The Committee... urge the Ministry to actively pursue and coordinate with the remaining State Governments to expedite the constitution of Search-cum-Selection Committees and the forwarding of recommendations, to make benches functional without further delay," said the Action Taken Report of the Standing Committee on Finance. Emphasising on the need for "regular recruitment for long-term stability and efficiency", the committee noted that while temporary operations have begun from an interim facility, the committee desires that concerted efforts are needed for its early development to realise GSTAT's full benefit. It also said the persistent delays in GSTAT's full functionality adversely impacts the larger GST ecosystem, resulting in prolonged litigation, overburdening of High Courts, and denial of timely relief to taxpayers. "The Committee, therefore, desire that the Ministry should adopt a time-bound approach to complete all remaining formalities," the report said.
