The Finance Ministry on Monday said Central GST commissionerates across states had set up helpdesks from June 16-30 to resolve taxpayers’ queries.

Goods and services tax (GST) was rolled out on July 1, 2017. GST subsumed about 17 local taxes and 13 cesses into a 5-tier structure, simplifying the tax regime.

“As part of the celebrations of #8YearsOfGST on 1st July 2025, all the CGST Commissionerates across States have set up Helpdesks to fast track and resolve any queries on GST at the GST Pakhwada from 16th-30th June 2025,” the finance ministry said in a post on X.

In eight years, the number of registered taxpayers under GST has risen from 65 lakh in 2017 to 1.52 crore.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
