Emboldened with “One Nation, One Tax”, establishing the goods and services tax (GST) regime marks a climatic transformation in India’s taxation landscape, earmarking the most significant indirect tax reform in history. Having a revitalised impact on the Indian economy and an accelerated fiscal consolidation, the introduction of GST has fostered a more unified and robust economic environment. While other litigious issues in GST have been addressed with relative efficacy, related-party transactions (RPTs) have been an area that continue to remain unsettled for years on end. We are pleased to share that a column titled, 'A new frontier for disputes under GST', authored by our Managing Partner, Mukesh Butani and Managing Associate, Harsh Shukla has been published on Financial Express (India). The column succinctly identifies the apertures in extant RPT discourse from the perspective of taxation. It necessitates the need for clearer guidelines, and the need for the revenue to address ambiguities on this front.

On the eve of India's 78th Independence Day, we are delighted to announce our support for 'India@100: Envisioning Tomorrow’s Economic Powerhouse' by renowned economist, connoisseur of India’s growth story and statesman, Prof. Krishnamurthy V Subramanian, as part of the BMR Knowledge Insignia Series. The book serves as a strategic blueprint, charting India’s economic trajectory towards a monumental target of a $55 trillion economy by 2047.   The work embodies developments around four key pillars: macroeconomic focus on growth, social and economic inclusion, ethical wealth creation, and a virtuous cycle driven by private investment. Prof. Subramanian’s analysis is rooted in his experience as the former chief economic advisor of India, the current executive director at the IMF and most importantly his belief in India’s potential for innovation and sustainable development.   As we dawn towards the invigoration of an Amrit Kaal, the ultimate goal is to capitalize on India’s unique opportunities and demographic advantages to achieve sustained high growth and economic prosperity. Auspicious to the celebrations of our nation's independence, this book is a literal celebration for all those captivated by the strategic trajectory of India’s economy.
