NEW DELHI: The home ministry has given security clearance to the GSTN, the information technology backbone of the Goods and Services Tax regime, paving the way for its operationalisation soon.
Security clearance to the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN), a not-for-profit private limited company, was delayed as the home ministry was examining threat perception to national security from any of the stakeholders, a ministry official said.
The Goods and Services Tax (GST), which replaces a host of taxes levied by the central and state Governments, has come into force from July 1. (AGENCIES)
