CAUSE
One question. One truth.
“Why was the GST introduced in India?”
India introduced the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on July 1, 2017, to replace a complex system of multiple indirect taxes levied by central and state governments. GST aimed to eliminate the cascading effect of taxes and create 'One Nation, One Tax'.

CURRENT STATE
GST has simplified the tax structure by merging taxes like excise duty, VAT, and service tax into a single tax. This reduces compliance burdens and tax cascading, enabling uniform taxation across states and enhancing transparency through technology-driven processes.
