Recent judgments of various Hon’ble High Courts on GST shows that disputed issues are being taken up by the High Courts and are entertaining the Petition on merits . We expect more changes in GST after the results of Gujarat Elections. More simplification and removal of procedural difficulties are in the pipeline. Reference to the Notification in this edition of Newsletter on the starting of E-Way bill in Rajasthan for Inter-state movement of goods should be taken into consideration and acted upon and such information should be conveyed to the clients. We are expecting your valuable comments and suggestions for improving our Newsletter. Please contact us at contact@ghiya.in
