Publications by Professional Bodies
This section originally noted (in 2017) that no professional-body publications on the GST Act existed yet. That is no longer accurate — ICAI, CTC, ICSI and other professional bodies have since published extensively on GST over the years. We have not yet curated a current list here; in the meantime, check the publications sections of ICAI, CTC, and ICSI directly.
