Anti-Profiteering Measures
The National Anti-Profiteering Authority (NAA) was constituted on 28th November, 2017 under Section 171 of the CGST Act, 2017 to ensure that the reduction in rate of tax or the benefit of input tax credit is passed on to the recipient by way of commensurate reduction in prices.
