Faceless GST For Delhi; Tax Should be Collected in a Hassle-Free Manner, says CM Rekha Gupta:

Faceless GST For Delhi; Tax Should be Collected in a Hassle-Free Manner, says CM Rekha Gupta While speaking at an event arranged by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) on May 3, 2025, Delhi CM Rekha Gupta said that the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system should operate "faceless" and transparent. She has urged the GST officers not to call businessmen to their offices if they are already appearing in court for their cases. She also mentioned that the Delhi Government has Rs. 80,000 crore of GST dues that are still not received due to disputes and other reasons. "Make our system faceless. Tax should be collected in a hassle-free manner," she said. She also appreciated the role of Chartered Accountants (CA) in solving tax disputes and helping the economy to grow. She further stated that only CAs can help fix these problems. Even after the government's treasury was almost empty, the government still presented a budget of Rs. 1 lakh crore. People wondered how that was possible. She added that she had her trust in the CA community, that they would support the government in reaching its financial goals. In a post shared by Rekha Gupta on Platform X, she praised the important role that CAs and financial experts play in building the country. She wrote, "Today I got the opportunity to participate in the Accounting Standards Day program organised by ICAI. It was a very inspiring experience to interact with CAs and financial experts who strengthen the country’s economic structure and learn from their experiences. The event not only symbolised India’s commitment to financial discipline and transparency, but was also a tribute to the role of professionals in nation-building. This effort by ICAI to strengthen financial standards and provide guidance to the youth is undoubtedly highly commendable,".
