Now, ED can share data with GSTN

New Delhi: The central government has amended provisions of the Money Laundering Act to allow Enforcement Directorate (ED) to share information with GST Network. The move would help recovery of Goods and Services Tax (GST) evaded through money laundering. GSTN handles the technology backbone of the indirect tax regime and is the repository of all GST-related information, including return, tax filing and other compliances.

As per the amendment to the provisions of Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002, GSTN has been included in the list of entities with which ED will share information.
