Automation in Process of Filing of Online MVAT & CST Returns from 01.04.2016 onwards
The Maharashtra Sales Tax Department has made substantial changes in its automation processes relating to taxpayer interface, w.e.f. F.Y 2016-17. This is expected to result into significantly more efficiency in the working of the Department, less errors due to minimum human intervention and maximum benefits in relation to time management.
The application is being developed on the SAP platform using the Tax and Revenue Management (TRM) and the- Customer Relationship Management (CRM) functionalities.
The Implementation of SAP based computer systems in the Sales Tax Department will help in providing online access to the Input Tax Ledger and interactions with the department.
