K'taka witnesses 5x jump in GST evasion at Rs 39,577 cr in FY25

Central GST officers in Karnataka detected tax evasion of Rs 39,577 crore in 2024-25 fiscal year, an over 5-fold jump from the year-ago period, Parliament was informed on Monday. In a written reply in the Lok Sabha, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said "Central GST authorities have not issued any notices based on UPI transaction". The minister was replying to a question on whether the government has issued GST notices to small traders and street vendors in the country, including Karnataka, without assessment of their business activities. Last month, numerous small traders and shopkeepers in Bengaluru, Karnataka, received disproportionately high GST notices primarily based on digital footprints, such as UPI transactions. The notices were sent by State GST field offices. To another question on the details of GST evasion detected in Karnataka, Sitharaman shared the details of cases by the Central Tax formations pertaining to the state. In 2024-25, 1,254 cases involving Rs 39,577 crore of Goods and Services Tax (GST) evasion were detected by CGST officers. Nine persons were arrested and Rs 1,623 crore voluntary payments were made. The amount detected by CGST officers in FY25 was over 5-times that of FY24. In 2023-24, 925 cases were detected involving Rs 7,202 crore evasion. Two persons were arrested and Rs 1,197 crore was recovered by way of voluntary payment of tax. In 2022-23, 959 cases involving Rs 25,839 crore tax evasion were detected by CGST officers. Two persons were arrested and Rs 1,705 crore voluntary tax payment was made.

Railways announces round trip discount plan for festive season

Lucknow: To manage the surge in passenger traffic during festive season, the railway ministry has introduced a special discount scheme, Round Trip Package for Festival Rush. This initiative aims to streamline bookings and optimize train utilization during peak travel periods. Starting Aug 14, passengers can book round-trip tickets for journeys between Oct 13 and Oct 26 (onward) and Nov 17 to Dec 1 (return). The scheme offers a 20% rebate on the base fare of the return journey, provided both legs are booked together for the same set of passengers, class, and origin-destination pair. To qualify, tickets must be confirmed in both directions and booked using the same mode—either online or at reservation counters. No refunds or modifications will be allowed, and the scheme excludes trains with flexi fares, an official said. The scheme is applicable across all classes, including special trains. According to Railway Board, this experimental scheme is designed to reduce congestion, ensure hassle-free travel, and maximize train capacity during festive rush. It also encourages passengers to plan their travel in advance, thereby distributing traffic more evenly across the season. "Software updates and coordination with IRCTC and CRIS are also underway to support implementation," an official said. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Bank of Baroda announces major enhancement to UPI app bob e-Pay, introduces three international features

State-owned Bank of Baroda, on Monday, 11 August 2025, announced its new Unified Payments Interface (UPI) application, the 'bob इ Pay' or the 'bob e-Pay' app, to provide seamless, secure, and real-time cross-border digital payments to its users, according to a press release. Bank of Baroda aims to help users carry out international transactions through three key features: UPI Global Acceptance, Foreign Inward Remittance, and UPI Services for Non-Resident India (NRIs) and Indians travelling abroad. 'UPI has revolutionised digital payments in India, and we are pleased to now extend its benefits to international use through bob इ Pay International. These new features provide greater flexibility and convenience to our resident & NRI customers and reflects our commitment to develop user-centric and innovative digital banking solutions,' said Sanjay Mudaliar, the executive director of Bank of Baroda. 1. UPI Global Acceptance: Customers using the bob e-pay application will now be able to use it to make QR Code-based payments to international merchants deducted directly from their Indian bank accounts. As of 11 August 2025, Mauritius, Singapore, UAE, USA, France, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bhutan are the only countries that accept UPI as a form of payment. The transaction amount will be visible in both the international currency and the Indian currency, along with the current exchange rate and applicable fees for the same, in order to give the users clarity and transparency during their international UPI transactions. 2. Foreign Inward Remittances from Singapore Residents: The users of this application will be able to receive 24/7 real-time foreign remittances from Singapore residents for family maintenance, according to the official announcement. The sender will enter the amount in Singapore Dollars (SGD) and the beneficiary will receive the funds in Indian Rupees (INR) directly into their UPI-linked bank accounts. 3. NRI UPI Services: Bank of Baroda's NRI customers will now be able to send and receive funds through UPI using this application. During their India visits, NRI customers can link their NRE/NRO accounts to the bob e-pay app using an Indian mobile number and make seamless UPI payments at merchant outlets as well as peer-to-peer fund transfers. The transaction limit for all the above international UPI services is ₹ 1,00,000 per day, the same as the Domestic UPI transaction limit. The bob e-pay application can be downloaded from the Play Store or App Store for Android and iOS users.
