Goa Chamber of Commerce & Industry (GCCI) President Ms. Pratima Dhond welcomes sweeping GST reforms announced at the 56th GST Council Meeting. With simplified slabs, exemptions on insurance and essential items, and measures to support MSMEs, healthcare, and farmers, the reforms are expected to boost GDP, ease compliance, and promote financial inclusion.
The Goa Chamber of Commerce & Industry (GCCI) has appealed to the CBDT to implement a faceless, fully online registration system for Charitable Trusts under Sections 12AB and 80G. The move aims to ease compliance for Goa-based trusts currently burdened by in-person hearings in Bengaluru.
