On Tuesday (8 November 2016), a simpler portal for the incoming Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime went live. The new portal will enable easy filing of returns and tax payments through credit or debit cards as well as other modes.
Close to 60 per cent of the software needed to run GST is ready. The Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN), which is the company building the infrastructure, made the www.gst.gov.in portal live for migrating existing taxpayers.
Four data centres spread across Delhi and Bengaluru will be built by the GSTN to ensure that the data is secure and to warrant data recovery, whenever called for. GSTN chairman Navin Kumar said that by December all equipment would be ready and testing would start.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
