GST Suvidha Kendra (GSK) is a concept introduced by the Government of India as part of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) initiative. It is an authorized center that provides various GST-related services to businesses and taxpayers. The primary objective of a GST Suvidha Kendra is to assist taxpayers in complying with GST regulations and offer support in filing GST returns and other related activities.
