Government’s Exciting Offer: Win Prizes for Your Bills!
The central government has a big announcement for all the people across the country. It doesn’t matter where you do your shopping or what you buy – make sure to keep the receipt. By simply uploading your receipt, you could have a chance to win prizes through a lucky draw. This isn’t just a reward for a few lucky individuals – hundreds of people have the chance to win fantastic prizes.
What Prizes Can You Win?
Ten lucky winners will have the chance to win one million rupees each. Additionally, the central government is offering an even bigger reward – two fortunate people could win ten million rupees each. This incredible offer, presented by the central government, is being tested out in a few states as a pilot project for a year. This initiative, named ‘Mera Bill.. Mera Athikaar,’ is set to kick off on September 1.
Promoting a New Bill Culture
In collaboration with state governments, the central government has introduced this initiative to encourage people to hold onto their receipts for every purchase they make. Initially, this initiative will be put into action through a trial run. Starting from September 1, it will be in effect for a year in the states of Assam, Gujarat, and Haryana, as well as in the Union Territories of Puducherry, Dadra Nagar Haveli, and Daman Diu.
Who’s Eligible?
Customers who receive receipts from suppliers and traders registered under GST in these states and Union Territories are eligible. However, the receipt must be for a minimum of 200 rupees. To take part, consumers need to upload their receipts through the “Mera Bill.. Mera Athikaar” app available on both Android and iOS platforms, provided by the central government. Alternatively, they can also use the website web.merabill.gst.gov.in.
