Kolkata, June 7 (IBNS): In order to enable our kiranas and other reseller members’ transition smoothly into the new tax regime as well as ensure minimum disruptions in their businesses with the roll-out of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) from July 1, Walmart India has launched an exclusive GST toll-free helpline for them.

The exclusive helpline has been set up for our valuable members to address their queries, clarify doubts and explain the nuances of the new tax structure.

The helpline 0120-4878888 will serve as a one-stop query resolution center with trained staff and experts to handle all GST-related queries.

Our toll-free helpline service network is an innovative and a pioneering initiative on GST and will be an important catalyst in the eco-system.  GST will positively impact the informal sector and will help unleash new entrepreneurial energy. We’re confident that Small reseller & kiranas will be able to scale up their businesses significantly.
