Bhubaneswar: A one-stop destination for all GST solutions was inaugurated in the city on Thursday.

Union minister Jual Oram inaugurated the centre and said it would prove a boon for the common man wherein they can avail themselves of its services at a very nominal cost.

Venvik Tech Solutions, a Baroda-based firm, has set up the centre with an aim to provide innovative and convenient methods to taxpayers and other stakeholders in interacting with the GST system. They will be developing around 25,000 GST Suvidha Kendra across the country over a period of next six months.

The ministry of tribal affairs inaugurated Venvik's State Partner's Office and Venvik GST Suvidha Kendra in Bhubaneswar.

Around 150 such centres were opened across the state simultaneously.

They would be developing around 900 GST Suvidha Kendras across Odisha. "The centre aims to ease the compliance burden of small business class people, who can migrate to the GST at a reasonable fee. They will reduce the burden of filing GST returns of the prospective clients and pave the way for making India's biggest tax reform a success," said Venvik Tech Solutions promoter E. Sreedhar.

The Venvik Suvidha Kendra will offer 360 degree Goods and Service Tax solutions to the customers by providing not only an online portal, but also an array of support services, which include GST number registration, digital signature, 24x7 voice and online support-cum-single window account management system to view the GST account on phone, laptop, tablet and other touch points.

"The centre will be equipped with fully trained professionals to support the customers to understand and fulfil a range of requirements under the GST regime," said Venvik Tech Solutions zonal head (operations) Luv Trikha.

Venvik Tech has partnered with Odisha-based AP Enterprises, through their Delhi-based zone partner Mind Worms, which will help in the smooth functioning of these GST Suvidha Kendras in the state.
