    This is beneficial only for manufacturers who will now required to pay total composition tax at the rate of 1% instead of earlier 2%. Traders are required to pay total composition tax at the old rate of 1%. So, there is no benefit to traders.

    I think that concerned authorities have conidered my article entitled – COMPOSITION SCHEME UNDER GST NOT BENEFICIAL FOR TRADERS – published in TAX GURU on 11 Nov. 2017. If so, thanks to the concerned authorities.
