Hey Mrunal I am a keen follower of your post like since 2 years, now. I have developed a keen interest in Indian Economy thanks to you.
I hope you take this as a kind suggestion from me, on behalf of all.
Please continue writing article the old style they were more comprehensive and explanatory.
The Videos which are being uploaded are not very clear, and sound quality ruins ear while on plug phones.
If needed please allow a few of us, who could contribute to you by posting the articles like the way you used to do.
I know the work of classes has kept you busy and u are unable to write the articles. Your hard work should not be ruined.
I and we supposedly recommend your website, to the new entrants on the battlefield. So they should enjoy the legacy of the OLD Style.
If required please contact me on my email, I would be glad to contribute some articles on any of the topic the old style….
sir i have a doubt regarding the gst benefits-same base computation. You have shown in the example of a phone on which excise duty is charged and on which VAT is charged. But this has became same like sales tax right? tax on tax
phone cost=10,000
excise duty=10%=1000
VAT 12%=1200 in your example it is given 1320
can anyone clarify it?
while explaining VAT you’ve subtracted 5000 from 7000 to take out the VAT as rs. 2000. Though VAT may be RS. 2000 but it will not depend on whether in the first month RS.5000 is collected or in the second month Rs. 7000 is collected. in my opinion, the correct calculation will be (Rs. 7000+Rs. 5000)-Rs. 10000=Rs. 2000 as the VAT. other wise going by your calculations, the VAT will suddenly change if in the first month RS. 3000 is collected and in the other Rs. 9000 is collected.
Mrunal Sir, I am waiting eagerly for your old styled written articles. Please resume writing them.
Some articles seems to have been removed. And power points are not clear without explanation, and the video is not helpful for non-hindi aspirants. Many must be relying on you for Economics portion, just like me, without reading Ramesh Singh’s. But for that we require notes. We understand you might be finding hard to juggle your time, but if notes could also be made available for the power points (like some are available), that would be really helpful. For example, there are no notes on this lecture, GST, or taxation in general. But there are excellent notes on Budget. My only request is if notes on ‘static’ portion could be made readily available within this month, that would be really helpful for people who find difficult to understand the economics jargon, so that there will be ample time for revision.
Please write articles like u used to…..
A query about GST. It is said that input credit on state GST will be transferred to importer state. my confusion is that if the industry is buying raw materials and services from exporter state and manufactures there the money paid for all these will include GST, how the importer state will get benefitted?
Anirban, the export state gets benefited by the integrated GST that will be allocated to the import state.
Mrunal Sir, A small confusion here regarding GST chapter is as you said that After CENVAT though we needed GST because their was no other system to get input credit for the other taxes paid like electricity, fuel, etc. but the question that comes in my mind is when the seller adds the profit amount then only he adds all his expenses and then adds profit so how is their lack of all those other taxes and cascading is taking place???
General science topics sir!
Please send me a books for MPSC exam.
What is your Message? Search before asking questions & confine discussions to exams related matter only.
GST aane k baad kya subhi states me petrol ki price same ho jayegi?????
No. Petrol shall be out of purview of GST hence it will be taxed as per present taxation system

sir Please send me sector wise contribution gdp india 1951-2014
Hello Sir !
Good Evening.
I watched your lecture on GST.
I could not get the concept of Zero Rated exports.
What is the current situation under VAT for exports ?
If All tax paid will be refunded as input credit, Will it effect the revenue of govt or not ?
Please, if you get time do clear my doubt.
Thank you.
If All tax paid will be refunded as input credit, Will it effect the revenue of govt or not ?
I don’t think so , as the end consumer is paying the appropriate tax , input credit is used to remove cascading effects on taxes.
