Option 2 : 1 July

The correct answer is 1 July.

  • India celebrates July 1 as the GST Day to commemorate the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) that replaced the old indirect tax regime in the country.
  • It was launched on July 1, 2017.
  • It is a multi-stage, indirect consumption-based tax system that subsumes a host of domestic indirect taxes such as service tax, value-added tax, excise duty, and others under one head. 

  • The tax is valid on most goods and services, with petroleum and liquor being among the notable exceptions.
  • As per data by the Centre, GST revenue collected in May 2022 was Rs 1,40,885 crore.
  • This marks the fourth time that GST revenues crossed the Rs 1.4 lakh crore-mark since the tax system was started.
