GST Helpline

The Indian Government passed the Goods and Services Tax or GST bill in 2016 and it was implemented from the midnight of 1st July, 2017. The objective behind the act was to impose consistent tax rates, remove financial barriers and thus aid the country in becoming an integrated economy. The guidelines under the act have been made clear; however, people may require assistance in some matters. For the smooth processing of the taxation under the act and to solve any query, problem or complaint related to GST, the government has set up a pan India GST helpdesk.

You can either call the GST customer care number or drop a mail on the official email IDs. For registering complaints, you can visit the Self-Service portal that has been set up for GST. Here you will find out all about the GST helpdesk and GST helpline numbers.
