BCCI gets tax relief, but why do research labs pay GST?: Goenka

Industrialist Harsh Goenka questioned why research labs face GST on critical equipment, software, and inputs while BCCI gets tax relief. "I am happy BCCI gets tax relief. Cricket is a great Indian success story...but...If we can make sports tax-friendly, we should make R&D tax-friendly too," he said. "Remove GST on essential research inputs and help build India’s future," he added.
