Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has made a strong pitch for a transparent, faceless Goods and Services Tax (GST) system and pressed for the urgent resolution of ₹80,000 crore in pending GST dues. Speaking at the third Accounting Standard Day organized by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), Gupta highlighted the need for reforms to streamline tax collection and reduce bureaucratic hurdles for businesses.

 

Key Highlights:

Gupta lauded the Chartered Accountant community for their pivotal role in resolving tax disputes and contributing to Delhi’s economic growth, urging them to continue raising awareness about tax compliance.
