RoC registers more companies post-GST: MoS

By TIOL News Service

NEW DELHI, MAR 24, 2018: AFTER the introduction of GST, there has been a major jump in the number of new registration of new companies. As per the latest data the number of new companies registered with the RoC after July 1 is more than 68,000. The number of companies registered in the corresponding period of the previous year i.e. from July, 2016 to February, 2017 was 63,106. Thus, the increasing trend in the number of companies' registrations has been maintained post-GST.

The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) is a lead indicator of industrial activity based on monthly production data from selected manufacturing units. The average growth rate of IIP was 5% during July, 2017-January, 2018 which was higher as compared to that of 3.9% in July, 2016-January, 2017. Industrial activity, post introduction of GST, has thus accelerated.

The data released by RBI shows that the growth in year-on-year sales for corporates in Q2 and Q3 of 2017-18 stood at 7.2% and 11.3% respectively. The corresponding figures for Q2 and Q3 of 2016-17 stood at 1.9% and 2.8% respectively. Thus, the growth in sales for corporates has also seen a remarkable increase in the post GST period so far.

This was stated by Union Minister of State for Law & Justice and Corporate Affairs, Mr P.P. Chaudhary in Lok Sabha yesterday.

Also, the overall growth rate of GDP increased from 6.5% in Q2 to 7.2% in Q3 of 2017-18. The corresponding figures for 2016-17 were 7.6% and 6.8% respectively.

Introduction of GST has reduced the multiplicity of taxes and has thus created a simpler tax regime to promote ease of doing business.  By doing away with the cascading effects of multiple taxes, GST is expected to lead to a reduction in the prices of goods. This will make our businesses more competitive in domestic and international markets which will thus spur the corporate sector along with formalization and overall growth of the economy.
