NAVIGATING THE GST TERRAIN: IMPACT ON MSMES AND PATHWAYS TO MITIGATION Rakshak Tyagi, 3rd year BA LLB student at Army, Institute of Law, Mohali Alok Kumar, 3rd year BA LLB student at Army, Institute of Law, Mohali Download Manuscript ABSTRACT The Goods and Services Tax (GST) Act of 2017 aimed to revolutionize trade by consolidating 17 diverse taxes into a cohesive system with four tax slabs, marking a significant shift in India’s indirect tax regime. However, its journey witnessed nearly 2000 amendments in seven years, prompting concerns about stability and effectiveness. Challenges persist for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), notably in GST registration, compliance burdens, and selection dilemmas between composition and regular tax regimes. These challenges exacerbate operational inefficiencies, particularly affecting small-scale businesses. Additionally, the lack of clarity in tax regulations and the reverse charge mechanism add to the burden, hindering business operations. Addressing these challenges requires simplifying the composition scheme, extending Input Tax Credit (ITC) benefits, and streamlining processes to foster smoother business operations under the GST regime. Efforts to enhance government systems can prevent minor mistakes from disrupting entities’ core operations. This paper provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by MSMEs under the GST regime and proposes solutions to alleviate their impact, making it essential reading for policymakers, business owners, and researchers seeking to understand and address the implications of GST implementation in India. The comprehensive analysis offered in this study serves as a roadmap for navigating the complexities of GST for MSMEs and underscores the importance of policy interventions urging policymakers to simplify GST compliance for MSMEs and offers researchers a framework to assess policy effectiveness, fostering informed decisions and further study.

THE PRESUMPTION OF LEGITIMACY IN THE LIGHT OF DNA EVIDENCE Mr. Vijay Shekhar, Assistant Professor, Amity Law School, Ranchi, Amity University Jharkhand. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT A rule of “conclusive proof” is enshrined in Section 112 of the Act on the legitimacy of a child born either (1) while the mother of the kid is still married to a man or (2) if the child was born 280 days after the marriage ended and the mother is still single. “It can be shown that the parties to the marriage had no access to each other at any time when the child could have been begotten” is the only situation in which the criterion is not applicable. Nonetheless, technological advancements have enabled us to definitively establish a child’s paternity. Considering this, the current research article examines the employability of forensic and scientific evidence in relation to the relevant portion of the Act.

It’s mostly found in urban cities but not largely observed across rural towns. If they are discovered also, mostly these kinds of associations are maintained in secrecy.
