CGST Zones must establish structured coordination with State Mining Authorities to obtain periodic information on illegal mining, mineral transportation, seizures, lease violations and excess extraction. Each Zone must designate a nodal officer, analyse received intelligence for possible suppression of taxable supplies, non-registration, undervaluation, tax short payment, wrongful input tax credit and other GST violations, and initiate action where warranted under the CGST Act and rules. Relevant intelligence must be shared with jurisdictional Commissionerates or DGGI formations, and periodic meetings must review the mechanism and resolve operational issues. Field formations must circulate and strictly implement these directions.
