The Mizoram State Tax Department will intensify checks on goods entering the state through major transit points ahead of the festive season to curb tax evasion and boost revenue.

In an advisory issued on Tuesday, the department said that the enforcement wing under the office of the commissioner of state tax will conduct stricter inspections of incoming goods at major entry points, including Sairang Railway Station, Lengpui Airport and road entry points, particularly Vairengte, amid expectations of a substantial increase in the inflow of goods during the festive season.
