Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini launches the ‘Kar Hiteshi’ app and online excise services to enable confidential GST reporting, boost transparency, and strengthen state revenue collection.

Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Friday launched a new mobile application and multiple online services of the Excise and Taxation Department, aimed at making departmental processes fully digital, improving transparency, and ensuring faster, time-bound service delivery to citizens.

‘Kar Hiteshi’ App for Confidential GST Reporting

The Chief Minister inaugurated the ‘Kar Hiteshi’ mobile app, developed to enable citizens to report GST-related irregularities in a simple and confidential manner. Through the app, users can upload photos, videos, or documents to flag issues such as fake billing, misuse of input tax credit, unregistered businesses, non-issuance of bills, and hidden transactions.

According to officials, the app ensures that the identity of informers remains protected, with details not disclosed to field officers. Based on the inputs received, authorities will carry out necessary investigations and take appropriate action. CM Saini said the initiative will encourage voluntary compliance and strengthen transparency in GST administration.
