GST and Demonetization were two main steps in this direction. Both of them aimed to expose black money, banish terrorism and tax-thugs and promote the concept of cashless India. Coming to analysis part, there are certain uprights that followed GST and demonetization. The tax returns registered an unprecedented growth of 25%. Another positive thing that happened to India after demonetization was the emerging use of digital wallets. It was a good move as more transparency could be spotted in the system’s cash flow. GST on the other hand also reduced indirect and hidden taxes bringing transparency in the goods and service domain.
