The Finance Ministry recently published a case study called the “GST Saga – the story of extraordinary national ambition”. Conveniently, the said booklet details the journey till the launch of GST and stays silent on the matters which the Ministry refers to as “teething problems” pertaining to the GSTN and GST. PGurus will fill that void and provide the readers with all those details and act as a soundboard for the Government to introspect and indulge in corrective measures before the economy tanks
