CBEC's GST Outreach Programme
THE hall was packed to capacity with businessmen, tax professionals and tax officers - all eager to know all about GST and they all sat through four hours of grueling session on the nuances of GST. The CBEC organized its first road show on GST at Hyderabad yesterday. And it was attended by the top bureaucrats connected with GST.

Mr. Upender Gupta made an exhaustive presentation on the Model GST Law and answered several questions.
Several people I spoke to were very confident that this time around GST will be a reality - and were fully scared of it.
