Dear Sir/Madam,
I recently came across the “Advanced Certificate Course on GSTAT – Litigation & Strategy” by TaxGuru.
I am an Advocate practising in the areas of GST and commercial litigation, and I am keen to enrol in this programme. I understand that the August 2026 batch has already concluded.
Could you please let me know whether there are any plans to conduct another batch of the Advanced Certificate Course on GSTAT – Litigation & Strategy in the coming months? If so, I would be grateful if you could share the tentative dates and registration details.
I would be very interested in joining the next batch.
Regards,
Adv. Shaheed Ahmed
