PM Modi Live: PM Modi highlights the intricacies in indirect tax system before the GST was rolled out

"When India embarked on GST reform in 2017, it marked the beginning of changing an old history and creating a new one.

Octroi, entry tax, sales tax, excise, VAT, service tax—dozens of such taxes existed in our country. To send goods from one city to another, we had to cross countless checkpoints," says PM Modi.
