About the Conference
The Goods and Services Tax reform constitutes one of the most pivotal tax policy reforms in India’s fiscal history; it seeks to integrate the indirect tax system and promote a seamless national market. The GST reforms, since their inauguration, have aimed at ease of compliance, greater transparency, and the use of digital technologies to facilitate efficient tax administration.
From this perspective, the conference aims to explore the socio-economic aspects of the impact of GST reforms, with special regard to digitalization, taxpayer compliance, and how such reforms actually affect the ease of doing business, focusing particularly on Small and Medium Enterprises and informal sector players. The need of the hour is to understand not only the technical changes being introduced in GST rates, structures, and compliance requirements, but also their broader socio-economic implications.
The ongoing GST reforms are significantly reinforcing the objectives of the Atmanirbhar Bharat mission, which aims to create an independent, robust, and globally competitive India. GST changes have streamlined the business climate, empowered micro, small, and medium-sized businesses, and encouraged formalisation across economic sectors by streamlining indirect taxation, encouraging digitalization, and improving compliance.
These adjustments lower transaction costs, promote entrepreneurship, and level the playing field, which stimulates domestic innovation and production. By accomplishing this, GST not only helps to realize a strong and inclusive Atmanirbhar Bharat, but it also establishes a solid fiscal and regulatory framework for the larger goal of Viksit Bharat 2047- a developed, just, and sustainable India on the international scene.
