Indian Pani Puri vendors have received GST notices after their annual digital transactions surpassed Rs 40 lakh. The rapid adoption of platforms like PhonePe and RazorPay has pushed these vendors into the formal economy.

According to the notice, the authority tracked down the vendor based on the reports of UPI transactions received from RazorPay and Phonepe for the financial year 2024-25.

TV conducted a fact check of the GST notice that was issued to a panipuri vendor from Tamil Nadu and found out that it was actually for a hotel vendor, and the 'to address' of the notice was doctored.
