About the Seminar
The Two-Day National Seminar on “Sectoral Analysis of GST Reforms in
India” aims to critically examine the evolving landscape of the Goods and
Services Tax (GST) and its sector-wise implications across the Indian
economy. Introduced in 2017 as a landmark fiscal reform, GST sought to
unify the indirect tax system, enhance transparency, and improve tax
administration efficiency. With over eight years of implementation by
September 2025, it is now both relevant and necessary to evaluate its
outcomes and the impact of continuous reforms introduced by the GST
Council. Significant reforms such as tax rate rationalization, expansion of the e-invoicing system, strengthening of the input tax credit mechanism, and improvements in digital compliance have significantly influenced sectors like manufacturing, agriculture, services, MSMEs, logistics, retail, and ecommerce. While GST has reduced cascading tax effects and improved ease of doing business, sector-specific challenges related to compliance burden, tax classification, and operational adjustments continue to persist. This seminar provides an academic and policy-oriented platform for scholars, researchers, policymakers, and industry practitioners to deliberate on these sectoral outcomes. It aims to facilitate meaningful discussions on achievements, challenges, and emerging issues in GST implementation. The seminar also seeks to identify policy gaps and generate evidence-based recommendations to strengthen the GST framework and promote balanced and inclusive economic growth in India.
