Amidst the daylight robbery and confusions around the GST(Goods and Services Tax), here comes a rescuer, the GST Rate Finder App. The app is a ready reference for the current GST rates applicable over the goods and services throughout the country. Developed by CBEC(Central Board of Excise and Customs) Joint Director Sandeep Rawal, the app is currently available for android users and will release for iOS soon.
Briefing about the app, CBEC Chairperson Vanaja N Sarna said “We decided, we need an app of this kind which would be a ready reckoner for the public, for customers, for consumers, traders, students, anyone who wishes to have very handily (GST) rates available. So that, if you are in a market, a restaurant or anywhere else you can easily check what the (GST) rate is without having to go anywhere else.”
How to use this app?
Sandeep Rawal got instructions to develop such an app to help common people. He came out with this idea overnight and consequently released the app within few days. This app is a reference list, which is almost 3 MB in size, can also be used offline. The results of the app may cause confusion, but the detailed description for each result clears it to an extent. However, we noticed that the app is currently available only in English, and adding more languages could help the public. Hope this article helps you to familiarise with this new GST Finder app. Peace!
