1. GST Reform aur Simplification Union Budget 2025
Goods and Services Tax (GST) ne retail sector mein kafi changes kiye hain. GST ka main aim tha ki tax system ko streamline kiya jaaye, lekin chhote aur medium retailers ko abhi bhi is system ke complex nature ke chalte kaafi challenges face karne padte hain. Chhote dukaandaron ko tax filing mein dikkat hoti hai aur unhe baar-baar changes aur updates ke saath adjust karna padta hai.
2025 ke Union Budget mein expectation hai ki GST system ko aur simplified kiya jaayega. Iske alawa, chhote business owners ke liye tax slabs ko kam kiya jaa sakta hai, ya unke liye kuch exemptions di jaa sakti hain. Agar government GST filing ko zyada user-friendly banati hai, to retailers ko compliance mein asaani hogi, jisse wo apne business pe zyada focus kar sakte hain. GST reforms se pricing ko bhi stable banaya jaa sakta hai, jisse end consumers ko faayda hoga.

Retailers ko digital tools aur platforms adopt karne ke liye incentives diye ja sakte hain.
