The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) along with Tally Solutions, a software product company, will brief the retail community on GST and clarify doubts. ASSOCHAM and Tally will conduct a series of conferences for the retail community across the nation over the next few months. The conferences are designed to help businesses shift from the existing taxation method and adapt to the new technology with ease. They can understand the significance of this new taxation policy and make an easy transition towards it. Tax experts from government bodies will also be participating in these conferences.

These camps will be held across 15 cities in India including Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune, Indore, Cochin, Goa, Coimbatore, Jaipur, Lucknow, Dehradun, Bhubaneswar, Jammu and Guwahati. They will be held from November 29 and will continue till March 23, 2017.

The Goods and Service Tax has created a lot of clamor in the business community given the technological changes required to comply with the law. The lack of clear knowledge at the grassroots level about the draft bill is another reason for resistance by smaller businesses. These GST sessions will allow these businesses to continue their functions comfortably post the roll out as well.
