“The sum collected from taxes is used for development of the country. The taxpayers play an important role in the overall development of the country. GST was first launched in the country on this day in 2017. GST has proved to be a helpful procedure in terms of tax paying although primarily businessmen had to face few problems. As the tax paying process got more transparent, so has the amount of tax collection increased”, Hon’ble Finance, Planning Minister Pranajit Singha Roy said at the celebration ceremony of Goods and Services Tax (GST) Day. The Minister also added that different works are being implemented successfully in the state along with other states of the country for welfare of people under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
