In his address, Mr. Singh shared his deep insights into the evolution of GST from its inception to the advanced GST 2.0 framework, highlighting the government’s initiatives toward automation, transparency, and ease of compliance. He also emphasized how digitization and technology integration—particularly e-invoicing and real-time reporting mechanisms—are revolutionizing the way businesses operate and comply with tax regulations. His talk encouraged students to view GST not just as a regulatory framework but as a powerful tool for promoting financial discipline and national growth.
