Saurabh Agarwal from EY India pointed out that, despite all the global hiccups and occasional downturns, India’s GST trend line looks solid and steady. The economy’s not just coasting, it’s growing.
Abhishek Jain, from KPMG, highlighted the surge in GST refunds—not just for exports, but for domestic transactions too. According to him, this shows the GST system’s actually maturing.
He figures the spike in refunds probably comes from overpayments, weird duty structures, and other tweaks, but, bottom line, it means businesses get their cash back faster—which is always a good thing for keeping the wheels turning.
