ABOUT THE SEMINAR<\/p>\n

India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) is one of the most transformative fiscal reforms in post-independence India. As GST evolves into GST 2.0, it is increasingly recognised as a catalyst for economic formalisation, digital governance, fiscal federalism, compliance modernisation, and entrepreneurial growth. Aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, this ICSSR-sponsored International Seminar aims to provide a multidisciplinary platform for academicians, policymakers, industry leaders, tax professionals, legal experts, researchers, and students to deliberate on the evolving GST landscape. Through keynote addresses, expert panel discussions, and research paper presentations, the seminar will critically examine GST 2.0 reforms, assess their socio-economic and entrepreneurial impact, identify persistent challenges, and explore future policy directions. The seminar seeks to generate actionable insights for building a more efficient, equitable, and growth-oriented tax ecosystem.<\/p>\n
