Jalandhar, March 3, 2025: PG Department of Commerce and Management under the initiative of Department of Excise & Taxation (Government of Punjab), organized a One-day Workshop on "Dissemination of Awareness about the Goods and Services Tax Act" under IQAC.
The objective of this event was to provide awareness about the Goods and Services Tax Act and its application.
Shalinder Singh, a dynamic professional, serving as an Assistant Director (Investigation) cum-State Tax Officer in Punjab Government. He has received the Young Scholars' award twice. He has served in Departments of Excise and Taxation across Ludhiana, Patiala, Bathinda, and Jalandhar, while also functioning as a GST master trainer and participating in state and national workshops.
Shalinder Singh initiated the session by offering a dual perspective on India's Goods and Services Tax (GST), examining both its theoretical foundations and practical implications. Structured as two technical sessions—"GST in Academics" and "GST in Real Life"—the presentation illuminated how this landmark tax reform has reshaped India's economic landscape since its implementation on July 1, 2017. He highlighted GST's key features: a "One Nation One Tax" regime, consumption-based taxation, PAN-based structure, technology-driven implementation, and evolution from the previous VAT system. He demonstrated how GST affects virtually everything we consume—from personal care products and clothing to transportation, entertainment, and digital services.
At last, relevant questions were asked by students and staff, which were satisfactorily answered by the resource person. A total of 58 participants attended this Workshop, including students and faculty members of PG Department of Commerce and Management.
It was a knowledgeable session and a learning experience for students.
