Goods & service Tax (GST) is a comprehensive indirect tax on
manufacture, sale and consumption of goods and services throughout India. It is
governed by 3 Central laws and 29 State laws. As these laws are voluminous, a
GST reckoner summarising the GST law has been prepared for easy reference. Only
relevant sections are included in as minimum words as possible without
distorting the meaning.
We have also developed GST software which will cater to all the requirements of GST and thereby
facilitate filing of simplified GST returns in a simpler way.
