It is the biggest ever tax reform ever since Independence which will replace layers of federal and state taxes to one single and unified tax. It is but obvious that all industries will get affected by this, banking and financial services would also be incrementally impacted as level of compliances will see dramatic augmentation under GST. Companies with PAN India presence will likely see manifold increase in compliances because of the varied nature of businesses. It is imperative to streamline operations and the need to initiate necessary action so that service offerings are not compromised and the financial institutions maintain the competitive edge.
