SACAS Hosts Insightful Guest Lecture on GST and Its Impact on Indian Businesses

The Department of Accounting and Finance, S.A. College of Arts & Science (SACAS), in association with the SACAS Association of Accounting & Finance Professionals and SACAS’ians Fin-tech Club, organised a guest lecture on “Chai to Cargo: How GST Rewrote the Rules for Every Indian Business” on December 19, 2025, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the College Auditorium.

The session was led by Ms. Haripriya Suman (B.Com, CA Intermediate), Accounting and Tax Analyst at Zolvit. The lecture aimed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and its practical implementation across industries.

Drawing from her professional experience, the resource person explained the “One Nation, One Tax” philosophy and highlighted how GST unified multiple indirect taxes into a single framework. She emphasized its role in reducing tax cascading, simplifying compliance, ensuring uniform taxation across states, and improving ease of doing business. The lecture proved highly informative and beneficial for students of commerce, accounting, and finance.
