9th Annual NLSIR Symposium: Goods and Services Tax: Changing Face of Fiscal Federalism in India

The National Law School of India Review (NLSIR), the flagship journal of the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bangalore is pleased to announce the 9th Annual NLSIR Symposium on Goods and Services Tax: The Changing Face of Fiscal Federalism in India scheduled to be held on 14-15 May, 2016 at the International Training Centre, National Law School of India University, Bangalore.

This year, the Symposium seeks to engage with the topical issue of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime that is proposed to be introduced by the Constitution (122nd Amendment) Bill, 2014. Having been stalled for a significant period of time, the passing of the Bill is now imminent, and the far reaching changes that it makes to the indirect taxation regime in India make it a ripe topic for detailed critical examination. Given the novelty of many of the proposed changes, the Symposium seeks to promote an informed discussion among various stakeholders regarding the impact and legal implications of such changes.

Confirmed speakers for the Symposium include Mr. Tarun Gulati, Mr. Arbind Modi, Dr. Govinda Rao, Dr. Gopakumar, Mr. Sukumar Mukhopadhyay among others.

This year, the discussions will be divided into four panels:

Session I: Constitutional Challenges and Concerns
(Forenoon, May 14, 2016, Saturday)

Session II: Understanding the Dual GST System
(Afternoon, May 14, 2016, Saturday)

Session III: Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST)
(Forenoon, May 15, 2016, Sunday)

Session IV: Procedural Hurdles and Concerns in Implementing GST
(Afternoon, May 15, 2016, Sunday)
