🔳 GST Jugaad
◼️Opening multiple firms to split turnover and stay below the GST threshold of ₹20 lakh or ₹40 lakh will not work and is illegal under Indian tax law.
◾️Why This "Jugaad" Fails
▪️PAN-Based Calculation: Under the GST law, the threshold limit (₹40 lakh for goods, ₹20 lakh for services) is calculated on an aggregate turnover basis across India for the same PAN (Permanent Account Number), not per individual shop or branch.
▪️Clubbing of Turnover: If you open 10 different firms using the same PAN, the tax department will add up the turnover of all 10 firms together. The moment the combined total crosses the limit, GST registration becomes mandatory for all of them.
▪️Different PANs / Dummy Names: If you open firms using different names or family members' PANs (dummy or benami firms) to artificially divide actual single-business revenue, it is treated as deliberate tax evasion and fraud.
◾️Risks and Penalties
▪️Cancellation & Heavy Fines: The GST authorities use advanced data analytics, AI, and banking/PAN linkages to catch multi-firm splitting. If caught, registrations will be canceled retrospectively.
▪️Tax, Interest, and Prosecution: You will be forced to pay all evaded GST amounts along with an 18% annual interest, plus heavy penalties under Section 122 of the CGST Act (equal to the tax evaded or ₹10,000, whichever is higher). Severe evasion cases can also lead to prosecution and imprisonment under Section 69.
