Bengaluru's UPI Chaos: GST Notices for Street Vendors Spark Major Protests

Описание: In Bengaluru, thousands of street vendors, some earning less than 800 rupees daily, have received GST notices after embracing digital payments through UPI. These notices have been issued despite their annual incomes being far below the ₹40 lakh threshold for GST registration. This has sparked a political firestorm, with the Karnataka government attributing the issue to the Centre's GST policies, while the BJP contends the state's commercial tax department is responsible. Worker unions have also raised concerns about UPI platforms potentially sharing vendor data without consent. The Federation of Street Vendors has called for a statewide protest on July 25th to demand the withdrawal of the notices. A union representative stated a key demand: "waive off all the, whatever the penalty and whatever the demand you are doing prior to the 2025 and now onwards, whenever they are registering, you make them to register their establishment and then claim their DIMA, whatever the tax."
