Constitution of Anti-profiteering
Authority
The Anti-profiteering Authority has been
constituted to ensure that benefit of reduced
tax rates on goods and services under GST
should be passed on to the end-consumers.
The GST laws provides that the suppliers
of goods and services must pass on any
reduction in the rate of tax or the benefit
of input tax credit to consumers by way of
commensurate reduction in prices. If he failed
to do so, the buyer of goods or services
can approach the National Anti-profiteering
Authority. The authority shall initiate an
investigation against the allegations raised
by the customer. During the investigation,
if it is found that the supplier was engaged
in profiteering activity by not passing the
benefit of reduction in tax rates, it can pass
an order to direct the supplier to reduce the
prices, return the amount to the recipient with
interest at the rate of 18% or impose penalty.
Till date the authority has passed 66 orders
in respect of applications filed against the
suppliers for being engaged in profiteering
activities. The outcome of these applications
have been disclosed below.
