“The enrollment for GST had begun on November 15 last year,” he said.
“Madhya Pradesh is among the states where a good number of businessmen have got themselves enrolled under the new tax regime,” Sharma said.
On the other hand, city-based Ahilya Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s President Ramesh Khandelwal claimed that several business sectors have reported a dip in sales by 20 to 25 per cent with the rollout of GST.
“Earlier we had an impression that the GST will simplify the tax payment process, but unfortunately this has not happened,” Khandelwal said.
