Ms. Sinchana K.S.
The telecom sector, pivotal for India's economic growth, has undergone significant evolution, especially post-liberalization. Amidst this backdrop, GST implementation has garnered attention due to its ramifications on consumer costs and industry dynamics. Through a survey conducted among telecom consumers and retailers in Shivamogga district, Karnataka, this study examines opinions on GST's impact across various dimensions. Results indicate a predominantly positive perception of GST benefits, albeit with concerns regarding increased costs and tax complexities. The findings underscore the need for the telecom industry to address challenges while leveraging GST advantages effectively for sustainable growth and enhanced stakeholder understanding.
