The committee has consistently provided constructive feedback to the Government, organised various events and courses, and produced detailed publications on GST-related topics. Their commitment to GST awareness and knowledge dissemination is evident through regular updates and technical publications. Excitingly, the committee has recently revised its publication, “GST Act(s) and Rule(s) – Bare Law,” incorporating the latest provisions up to December 2023. CA.
