The Government’s decision to cover businesses in a phased manner rather than imposing its application on all of them at once is commendable. It began with a Rs threshold limit. 500 crores, then steadily carried down to Rs. Rs. 100 crores later. Rs. 50 crores later. 20 crores, then, at that point, Rs. ten crores, and finally Rs. 5 crores (material from first Aug, 2023).

The Government’s check will cover a wider area if this threshold limit is lowered because GST E invoice would be less susceptible to manipulation.
