⚠️ **Public Awareness Post – Please Read Carefully** ⚠️
Today I visited **Black & Brown Bakers, Main Qasimabad Branch Hyderabad** to purchase a cake. During the transaction, I observed serious **irregularities in their sales receipt and GST compliance**, which every consumer should be aware of.
🔍 **Key observations:**
* The **sales receipt was not verified through a proper Point of Sale (POS) invoice**.
* Upon checking, it appears that their **GST status is inactive**.
* Records indicate that **GST returns have not been filed for the last six tax periods**.
* Despite this, **GST is still being charged from customers**, which raises serious legal and ethical concerns.
As a lawyer, I have formally lodged a complaint regarding the charging of GST without lawful submission to the Government.
Earlier, I posted this issue on Hyderabad Updates purely to warn and educate the public, but unfortunately the post was removed by the admin, which seems biased and discourages transparency.
📢 **Request to all consumers:**
Before accepting any bill, please:
✔️ Verify your invoice
✔️ Check the seller’s **GST status**
✔️ Use the **Asaan Tax App / FBR portal** to confirm authenticity
