Vijayawada: The new GST 2.0 reforms will come into effect from midnight, marking a historic milestone for the commercial taxes department, which, for the first time, issued government orders (GOs) in Telugu. Officials said the decision to publish orders in Telugu aims to bring governance closer to the people and make tax-related matters easily understandable. The GST 2.0 reforms are projected to provide Rs 2 lakh crore benefits nationally, with Andhra Pradesh alone set to gain around Rs 8,000 crore. Chief commissioner Babu A emphasised that GST 2.0 is more than a tax reform—it is a citizen-first policy aimed at reducing costs, simplifying compliance, empowering households, farmers, and students, while strengthening the economy. With these next-gen reforms, GST 2.0 is expected to provide a major boost to India’s economy while ensuring direct benefits for every household.
