CM Bommai appreciated Karnataka’s accomplishment even before the announcement of the Model Code of Conduct.
BT Manohar, the head of the FKCCI GST committee stated that a phenomenal improvement has been seen in economic activities and domestic consumption. The compliance rate and the import of goods and services have also increased significantly. The generation of GST e-way bills and improvement in e-invoice creation have also helped boost Karnataka’s GST collection.
According to sources, the state commercial tax officials’ new techniques are the reason behind the increased GST collections. Because of the Model Code of Conduct, the officials steadfastly kept themselves away from commenting on the achievement.
