The Goods and Services Tax Network ( GSTN ) has included Andhra Pradesh in the list of states enabled for GST payments through Unified Payments Interface (UPI), Credit and Debit Card modes, marking the completion of nationwide rollout across all 28 States under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime.
The inclusion of Andhra Pradesh is indicative of a major step in the government’s efforts to promote cashless tax compliance and ease of doing business by integrating faster, secure, and user-friendly digital payment methods into the GST platform.
