Implementation of GST is the significant taxation reform in India which emerged with a mission of “One Nation One Tax” in the year 2017.
GST has simplified the tax return filing process by integrating the sellers’ and buyers’ information about goods & services. GST council along with finance ministry came up with a mechanism of GSTN (goods and services tax network) where all the details about invoices, buying, selling, date, location are duly reported by the taxpayers.
This serves a smooth platform to taxpayers registered under GST to get interlinked and easily avail and file the GST return form, claim ITC and so on, all in accordance to the taxpayers’ category they fall under.

The amendments and all the changes will be included and received in the GSTN portal until April 2020. This has done with the raised queries on the GSTN portal and its performance.
