GSTN wants Vice-President and Senior Manager
GOD knows when or if the GST comes but there is a Company working on the IT part of it.
Goods And Services Tax Network (GSTN), a private limited company, has been registered in March2013 under Section 25 of the Companies Act, 1956. The Government of India holds 24.5% equity in the Company and all States of the Indian Union, including NCT of Delhi and Puducherry, together hold another 24.5%. Balance 51% equity is with non-Government financial institutions.
The Company has been set upprimarily to provide IT infrastructure and services to the Central and State Governments, taxpayers and others take holders for implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) which is expected to subsume in itself practically all indirect taxes prevailing in the country, including the three major indirect taxes Central Excise,Service Tax and VAT. GSTN would, thus, play a critically important role in reforming the indirect tax systemin India.
As per the approved Organisational Structure of the Company, certain identified positions are open to Government officers. At present, GSTN proposes to fill up two positions - Vice President and Senior Manager, by taking Government officers on deputation.
Nominations are to reach the GSTN latest by 29th June 2015 - that was three days ago. Maybe this date is extendable; CBEC has circulated GSTN letter yesterday.
How letters travel in the Government in this Digital age is best exemplified by this correspondence.
