The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has called for further simplification of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime in India, citing ongoing compliance issues that burden traders despite significant revenue growth. Since its implementation in 2017, monthly GST collections have surged from approximately ₹40,000 crore to over ₹2 lakh crore, marking a sevenfold increase. CAIT National Chairman Brij Mohan Agrawal acknowledged the government's efforts to streamline the tax system but insisted that more needs to be done to facilitate ease of doing business. He emphasized that while GST has proven to be a major revenue generator, traders still encounter challenges at the ground level. Jitendra Kumar Gupta, CAIT Odisha State President, echoed these sentiments, stating that simplifying tax procedures would not only benefit traders but also expand the tax base and improve economic conditions. The CAIT event in Bhubaneswar focused on addressing these concerns and advocating for reforms that would enhance operational efficiency for traders.
