FITGVIB@2047 Conference in Vidyasagar University

Venue

Vidyasagar University Campus, Midnapore, West Bengal, India

About the Conference

The evolving landscape of India's fiscal architecture demands renewed scholarly attention, especially at a time when the nation stands at the threshold of a structural economic transformation. The introduction of Goods and Services Tax (GST) in 2017 marked a watershed moment in indirect taxation, bringing significant changes to tax administration, compliance, revenue generation, and inter-governmental fiscal relations.

Simultaneously, India’s integration with global financial markets is deepening. Capitals flows - FDI, FPI, external commercial borrowings, remittances, and fintech-driven cross-border transactions - play a pivotal role in influencing domestic investment, macroeconomic stability, exchange rate dynamics, and overall economic growth. India’s moves toward GST 2.0 and capital flows collectively shape the trajectory of the country’s development, especially in the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.

Against this backdrop, the proposed seminar “Finance, Taxation and Growth for Viksit Bharat 2047: Navigating GST 2.0 and Capital Flows” seeks to bring together academicians, policymakers, tax experts, industry practitioners, and research scholars to critically evaluate the future of India’s taxation ecosystem and its interaction with capital flow patterns.
