On completion of 4 years of GST, CBIC has decided to honour the taxpayers who have been a part of the GST success story. A data analytics exercise was undertaken by the CBIC to identify taxpayers who have made substantial contribution in payment of GST in cash along with timely filing of returns. As a result, 54,439 taxpayers have been identified. More than 88% of these taxpayers are from Micro (36%), Small (41%) and Medium enterprises (11%) representing a wide spectrum of sectors involved in the supply of goods & services spread across all States/UTs.

As an acknowledgment, the CBIC will be issuing certificates of appreciation to these taxpayers. GSTN will be sending out the certificates of appreciation to individual taxpayers by e-mail. The taxpayers will be able to print and display these certificates.
