The Union Finance Minister also gave away prizes to six customers with a cheque award of Rs 10 lakh to those who participated in the Mera Bill Mera Adhikaar scheme. The winners uploaded their valid GST bills to the app after making a purchase.
The Mera Bill Mera Adhikaar scheme became active from 12 am on September 1, 2023, and has already gathered pace with more than 1.51 lakh downloads of the app with consumers actively participating in the pilot scheme.
The primary objective of the "Mera Bill Mera Adhikaar" scheme is to bring about a cultural and behavioural shift where consumers actively request invoices as their right and entitlement.
