A Conclave on ‘GST and Globalization’ was organized by the Federation of Telangana Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FTCCI) in the city. During the event, the industry body urged the Chief Minister and the State Finance Minister to raise the threshold limit for GST registration to Rs 40 lakh annually.

In his address, the president of FTCCI, welcomed the attendees and emphasized the need for the Government of Telangana to consider increasing the GST registration threshold from Rs 20 lakh to Rs 40 lakh.
