The government’s massive network of Common Service Centres (CSCs), or digital kiosks, have been identified to facilitate the rollout of Goods and Services Tax (GST), especially in rural and semi-urban areas.
Out of the total 2,52,000 CSCs that are operational, around 1,72,000 are in the rural areas. These centres will help merchants in filing taxes under the new regime and also provide necessary training and support services to people. The proposal is close to getting a final approval from the government.
Dinesh Kumar Tyagi, CEO, CSC e-Governance Services, told that the centres are proposed to act as a GST Suvidha Provider. They will also train and support merchants.
“The agency will have its own portal where all the details will be filled up which will be synced with the main portal of the GST,” he said. It will act as a “mirror portal” of the GST portal, he added.
