If a person has transacted over ₹20 lakh for services or ₹40 lakh for goods in a year through UPI, it indicates that they may be liable to register under GST," says Commercial Taxes Department of Karnataka.


💡 What This Means:
•📲 UPI (Unified Payments Interface) transactions are now being monitored for possible GST compliance.
•📌 Thresholds for GST registration:
•🧰 Services: ₹20 lakh/year
•🛒 Goods: ₹40 lakh/year
•If a person crosses these limits via UPI transactions, it may trigger a GST obligation — even if they’re not officially registered as a business.

⚠️ Implications:
•👀 Increased surveillance of digital transactions
•📋 Individuals doing freelancing, trading, or selling goods via UPI might be flagged
•🧾 Proof of business or clarification may be required by tax authorities

✅ Recommendation:
•🔍 Track your UPI transaction totals yearly
•🧮 Consult a tax advisor if nearing thresholds
•🗂️ Ensure records are clean and categorized (personal vs business)
