GSTAT is a dedicated appellate tribunal to adjudicate GST-related disputes with a principal bench in New Delhi and 31 state benches. This initiative directly supports the government’s vision to reduce legal friction, simplify taxation, and enhance investor confidence.

Tata Communications will deliver a secure, scalable, and intelligent digital fabric of solutions for the GSTAT. The state-of-the-art infrastructure—spanning LAN, WAN, SDWAN, video conferencing, cloud services, and advanced security—will underpin the tribunal’s operations, the company said in its press release.

The initiative will automate operations, strengthen transparency, and significantly enhance efficiency by enabling predictive analytics and chatbots, creating a resilient and future-ready digital ecosystem. This integrated infrastructure will empower the tribunal to:

• Accelerate and streamline end-to-end operations of GSTAT;

• Ensure seamless access across all GSTAT benches nationwide;

• Safeguard the tribunal’s data transfer and ensure operational security;

• Deliver a simplified and frictionless user experience.

By modernising how stakeholders will engage with GSTAT, the project will enable the GSTAT to meet their vision and foster greater trust in India’s GST framework, it added.

This collaboration underscores our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology, deep domain expertise, and our customer-centric approach to strengthen India’s digital governance ecosystem.

"With enhanced transparency and secure infrastructure for institutions like GSTAT, which facilitate resolution for taxpayers, this project aligns perfectly with our purpose of supercharging progress and innovation and with the government’s vision of Digital India," it added.
