GST will be a boon for business and industry as it will bring a new wave of tax regime in India by providing Easy compliance, Uniformity of tax rates and structures, improved competitiveness, Gain to manufacturers and exporters.”

Binani also stated that once GST is rolled out, ease of doing business would improve in the country and in long run the tax rate would also come down benefitting the consumers.
