GST - A decision to delay much warranted!


Implementation of GST

Thanks Shailendraji for sharing my song on GST in your coveted column.

We all are in the transition mode. Transition is not that what is mentioned in Chapter XX of the CGST Act,2017. There should some transition in our approach also. When a new tax system is going to replace many old tax systems, it is going to affect a large mass. There must be apprehensions,fear, lack of preparedness, inhibition to adapt and adopt. So, we all should take a pragmatic and novel approach to educate and prepare the general public. Mere translation of sections and rules may not work so effectively.

We must come out with some novel ideas. I tried a little bit of me. There are other modes also.

Government may start a series for rewarding everyday on answering GST related practical questions through phones/e-mails. This will create a positive impact and more people will get involved apart from educating people on GST.

Facebook and cinema halls may also be used to propagate the features of GST.

Replying to queries on GST on twitter is a very good step and the queries are being answered very promptly.

Departmental officers may be encouraged to come out with novel ideas and concepts to reach the mass. They must not be discouraged to interact with people. Let them come out with all originality and novelty and there must not be any bureaucratic hurdles in their interaction.
Let’s welcome GST in a novel way.
