How to ensure big traders give bills under GST

In the heart of a very large and famous market in Lajpat Nagar, Delhi, we have a dry fruit merchant, Sindhi Dry Fruits whose turnover runs into crores. Yet I was shocked when 3 days ago he gave my driver just a slip of paper with only the amount of the items purchased. (Attached slip along with items bought and bag). No bill so obviously no GST. When the driver asked for the bill, he was summarily told that will cost you another 12% tax. He is also charging 2.5% extra on both debit and credit cards. I thought the GST was supposed to be included in the MRP. I'd like clarity on how one decides MRP and if it is inclusive of GST ?

Prior to GST era also he never gave a bill despite the fact that during festive season his daily sale ran into lakhs. It was well known that he had laced the pockets of Sales Tax officials. But amazingly even under the new regime he is managing to do the same.
In such cases how can the customer ensure a bill without ending up paying extra amount. more

Govt agency should come in to the picture and investigate and take action as required. more  
It is incorrect on part of the supplier. MRP is inclusive of all taxes and no supplier can charge more than MRP. Also every supplier must give an invoice. The price cannot be 12% extra as the GST paid on inputs would be available as credit to a supplier. If he charges more Government can penalize the supplier under anti profiteering provisions. Challenge the supplier and file a complaint with the Consumer Affairs Ministry, more  
Filing the case with Consumer Forum and then, follow-up shall be another head-ache in terms of time and money. Better, an email to the GST explaining the grievance with evidence should be suffice to book the trader for tax evasion. Further, all the MRP including GST be printed on each and every product so that no consumer can be cheated. more  
The system is fully corrupt and there is no concept of legal working within business community. The nexus of civil servants and corrupt governance for 60 years have brought us here and business community do not want to pay any taxes and live lavioush life at the cost of all. We need to fight this and keep raising voice to get attention to such wrong practices and stop this cash /parallel economy which is curse for the nation......... JAGO BHARAT JAGO more  
As consumers we do not always insist on pucca bills hoping to save the money on taxes and thereby propagating the misuse of taxation laws and generation of black money. We should always insist on a pucca bill-market conditions will ensure correct pricing. more  
Many thanks for your inputs and for reaffirming my understanding. I argued this out with the shop keeper and his son today but to no avail. There were at least 20 customers at the shop whom I requested to ask for a bill but they did not care. Their only concern was the delay that was being caused by the argument. They did not care that what I was saying was for their own benefit. And most of them were educated and well off.

How can this be reported to the Tax department ? more
