• GST offers comprehensive and continuous chain of tax credits from the
producer's point/service provider's point upto the retailer's level/consumer’s
level there by taxing only the value added at each stage of supply chain.

Form GSTR-1. Such details can be furnished through the common portal, either
directly or from a notified Facilitation Centre.
GSTR-1 for a particular month is filed on or before the 10th day of the

Sec16(1),16(2),sec(17), sec(18)
The GST regime promises seamless credit on goods and services across the
entire supply chain with some exceptions like supplies charged to tax under
composition scheme and supply of exempted goods and/or services. ITC is
considered to be the backbone of the GST regime. In fact, it is the provisions
of ITC which essentially make GST a value added tax i.e., collection of tax
at all points of supply chain after allowing credit of tax paid at earlier points.

taxation rests with the service provider or the seller this is called forward charge, on the other
hand the Law sometimes shifts the responsibility to pay tax on the shoulders of the service
recipient or buyer thereof this is called reverse charge.

PLACE OF SUPPLY
Sec10,sec11,sec12,sec13
The concept of place of supply is highly relevant in the context of determination of where the
supply has taken place. As enumerated in the earlier paragraphs, whether a transaction of supply
of goods or services is leviable to tax in India or not depends on the place where the supply has
took place. As per Section 7 read with Section 9 of the CGST/SGST Act, a supply shall be
taxable in India only when its place of supply is within the taxable territory. Once it is identified
that a supply took place within the taxable territory then it needs to be determined whether it is a
intra state supply or interstate supply based on the provisions contained in this regard.
1. Where the supply involves the movement of goods, Location of the goods at the

OBSERVATIONS
GST is a win-win situation for the entire country. It brings benefits to all the stakeholders of industry,
Government and the consumer. It will lower the cost of goods and services, give a boost to the
economy and make the products and services globally competitive
● Creation of unified national market: GST aims to make India a common market with
common tax rates and procedures and remove the economic barriers thus paving the way for
an integrated economy at the NATIONAL LEVEL .
● MITIGATION OF ILL EFECTS OF CASCADING : By summing most of the central and
state taxes into a single tax by allowing a set off of prior – stage taxes for transactions across
the entire value chain , it would mitigate the ill effects of cascading, improve
competitiveness and improve liquidity of the businesses
●
● Elimination of multiple taxes and double taxation: GST has subsumed majority of existing
indirect tax levies both at Central and State level into one tax i.e., GST which is leviable
uniformly on goods and services. This will make doing business easier and will also tackle
the highly disputed issues relating to double taxation of a transaction as both goods and
services
●
● Boost to ‘Make in India' initiative: GST will give a major boost to the ‘Make
in India' initiative of the Government of India by making goods and services
produced in India competitive in the national as well as international market.
● Buoyancy to the Government Revenue: GST is expected to bring buoyancy to
the Government Revenue by widening the tax base and improving the
taxpayer compliance.
● Since introduction there were many amendments

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
I have undergone internship for 3 month, in fulfillment of the requirement of the Bcom(hons)
+ACCA Degree, pursued at GITAM University .The purposes of the internship is to prepare
myself to serve the needs of industry and commerce more effectively upon graduation. This
included acquiring real life experience and exposure, thus gaining first-hand exposure of
working in the real world, granting the opportunity to learn more about my self-potentials and
abilities, getting connected and developing professional network, preventing CV from going
to trash during job application and transition to full-time job position.
This internship allowed me to harness the skill, knowledge and theoretical practice that I
learnt in the university and enabling me to transform theory into practical real life situations.
