# Chit firm penalised for collecting GST without mentioning GSTIN 2026-08-10T13:00:59+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Thrissur Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has held Bhagyaratna Kuries (India) Pvt Ltd liable for deficiency in service and unfair trade practice for collecting Rs 7,800 as GST from a subscriber without mentioning the GSTIN or other mandatory tax details on the receipt. The commission, however, refused to order a refund of the amount, noting there was no evidence that the company was not GST-registered or had failed to deposit the tax with the government. The complaint, filed by E.P. Sabu under Kuri No 182, was partly allowed, with the firm directed to pay Rs 10,000 as compensation and Rs 10,000 as litigation costs, along with 9% annual interest from the date of filing. ## Coverage - livelaw.in Tags: Bhagyaratna Kuries, chit fund, consumer commission, GST, Kerala, tax compliance Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/chit-firm-penalised-for-collecting-gst-without-mentioning-gstin/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
