The total strength of Direct & Indirect members is comprising of more than 5000 members. The GSTBA is working as a bridge between taxpayers / tax professionals and tax administration.
The spread of COVID-19 Virus has impacted adversely thenormal working in the country. Unfortunately, the ferocity of Corona Virus has not abated and is spreading and increased cases in various parts of the country.
