Introduction to GST in India
From its conception in 2017, and its GST 2.0 transformation in 2025-26, GST has totally revolutionized commerce in India. GST is a destination-based multi-stage Value Added Tax system that replaced a range of indirect taxes, such as Excise Duty, VAT, Service Tax. Currently, in the fiscal year 2026, the GST portal has transformed itself into a very advanced platform utilizing AI & ML to guarantee that "Input Tax Credit" (ITC) is available only for legitimate claimants.

Any small glitch in your GSTR-2B or late filing of return by your supplier can jeopardize your ITC. Ruchi Anand & Associates GST experts protect your tax flow and your ITC.
