Helpdesks set up for CGST queries

The Finance Ministry on Monday said Central GST commissionerates across states had set up helpdesks from June 16-30 to resolve taxpayers’ queries.

Goods and services tax (GST) was rolled out on July 1, 2017. GST subsumed about 17 local taxes and 13 cesses into a 5-tier structure, simplifying the tax regime.

“As part of the celebrations of #8YearsOfGST on 1st July 2025, all the CGST Commissionerates across States have set up Helpdesks to fast track and resolve any queries on GST at the GST Pakhwada from 16th-30th June 2025,” the finance ministry said in a post on X.

In eight years, the number of registered taxpayers under GST has risen from 65 lakh in 2017 to 1.52 crore.
