India's GST Revolution Reshapes Economy
Since its rollout in 2017, India's Goods and Services Tax (GST) has overhauled the nation’s indirect tax system, moving from a fragmented multi‑rate structure to a unified framework.

Key points:
- GST introduced in July 2017, replacing over 20 indirect taxes.
- Multi‑rate system created initial confusion; rates adjusted repeatedly.
- Businesses faced frequent rule changes and complex return filing.
- Over nine years, compliance costs fell for many, boosting formalisation.
