Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was reviewing the state tax department in a high-level meeting here.
He said the efforts made by the State Tax Department to increase the dealer base have yielded good results. Uttar Pradesh has the highest number of traders registered under the GST in the country. The efforts being made to raise awareness of GST registration are having positive effects.
“In the year 2022-23, around 3.43 lakh new registrations were done, while in the year 2023-24, one lakh new registrations have been done from April to July. Efforts to increase the registration base should be continued,” he said.
The chief minister said filing GST returns is the duty of every businessman/trader. It is encouraging that Uttar Pradesh leads the country in filing returns. More than 95 per cent of returns have been filed as a result of regular review of turnover of nonfilers after the return filing due date.
