If in a span of few days and months, they have rolled back lot of policies and made so many amendments, Certainly the wisdom and competency of people responsible for making and implementing GST needs to be questioned. Imagine if such decisions would have been taken by a CEO or any manager in an organization, he would have been sacked long time ago. more

Treading on a new path brings with it rocks and ditches. To even these out is also a learning process. We all face such situations in life and try to surmount them with patience, understanding and by taking corrective measures. Let's give GST similar treatment. more

thanks for the info. so one has to keep tabs, is this the way in the 21st century. Wasting time at unproductive procedures. What can you expect of lawyers and accountants ? Punish the public into wasted time. Time is precious for every living being, it should not be wasted keeping tabs. We as an emerging economy should show the way to the world by introducing simplified systems and not copy them, See the mess in copying the GST.Every other day they are reviewing the GST. Shame on the persons who worked on this. It should only one rate , if the politicians have the guts, or rather the IAS. The Govt is probably creating employment by ensuring that we need consultants to fill up any form. That is good , probably. more

Mr. Ravi Kumar....You are right and I agree with you in toto. But the Govt. does not want to loose anything. If they implement one GST they would loose taxes in many commodities. they don't want to understand loosing on one will be gain other.
I ONLY know that my household expenditure has increased by 25% after GST. Moreover I do not have time to calculate it. I use to buy a product regularly which was costing Rs. 440.00 per packet but after implementation o f GST now I am buying the same product for Rs.470.00.
In Singapore, as a Tourist, whatever you buy they levy GST but while leaving the country it is given back. No such provision is made for the foreigners. How would they develop Tourism in India. more
