The midnight of 01 July 2017 GST came into effect after the Goods and Service Tax (GST) Act passed in the Parliament. After 01 July 2017, only GST is applicable in India. 

What is GST?

It is proposed to combine all of the aforementioned taxes into a single tax known as the Goods and Services Tax (GST), which will be assessed on the supply of goods or services, or both, at every point along the supply chain, beginning with manufacture or import and continuing through the final retail level. Therefore, the GST will essentially converge with any tax that is now imposed by the Central or State Government on the sale of goods or services.
