The Indian Industries Association(IIA) has started 20 helpdesks in states like Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, and Uttarakhand in order to help businessmen and consumers over the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Simultaneously, the IIA has also created a knowledge bank on its website so that businessmen, traders, and industrialists can go through different aspects of the GST, post their query and get a prompt answer from the experts in their inbox.
IIA National President Sunil Vaish on this launch said, “IIA has constituted a group of experts, which will answer all queries pertaining to GST being raised by businessmen and industrialists on its website www.iiaonline.in. So far, IIA has conducted nearly 200 workshops for industrialists on GST, and such workshops will continue”.
IIA is an apex representative body of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) with a membership base of about 6,500 businesses. It has the network of more than 40 chapters spread in most of the industrialised districts of UP, Delhi, Uttarakhand and surrounding states.
At this point of time, the most important task is to provide information about GST to businessmen, traders, and industrialist in a simplest possible way, so that they could understand various norms and provisions of GST and further pass on the benefits to the customers.
Apart, the IIA has directed its office bearers organise seminars and other interactive programmes on GST so that all the doubts related to GST could be cleared at the earliest.
